Last week we took a trip to Lugano, which is in Southern Switzerland in the Italian-speaking and Italian-influenced part. It was absolutely gorgeous–just like what I imagine Italy will be except the trains run on time, people speak Swiss German in case you don’t know Italian and it wasn’t TOO hot, haha.

I can definitely see myself vacationing here in the future.

Some of the pictures below have a gnome in them. We’re not sure where this gnome came from, but he decided to terrorize our room.

The first picture in the gallery isn’t actually from Lugano (not sure how it got thrown in), it is from these awesome caves just outside of Interlaken. These are the only caves in Switzerland that are still accessible where water from the melted glaciers pours down through them and out into the river. 20,000 liters per second! It was incredible to see.
