Lugano to Sorico

19 Jun

Today’s ride took us along the shorelines of Lake Lugano and then Lake Como. We have now been to all 3 lakes in the area and into and out of a corner of Switzerland. The lakes are surrounded by mountains and have many villages and towns built on the slopes. As well there is a considerable amount of tourism. Today we saw people sailing, kite surfing, wind surfing, water skiing, rowing, cycling and many campers. Switzerland was considerably more expensive in all respects but also a very clean and efficiently run country.
Tonight we are staying at the North end of Lake Como, nothing too special, mostly just a half way point on the way to Bellagio, but a relaxing and scenic spot none the less.

Looks too steep to St. Moritz; we'll head for Como

Snow in the hills; we're in the little town on the right
