Lake and City

Malcolm, his mum and I, returned home yesterday from a short break in Switzerland again. This time, we visited the south of the country, staying in the city of Lugano, the largest city in the canton of Ticino (although not its capital). We arrived in the sunshine.
The city also gives its name to the lake, a beautiful expanse of water covering nearly 19 square miles and some fantastic views.
After checking in to the hotel and showering off the grime of travel, our first job was to take a stroll along the lakeside promenade to 'get our bearings' for the next few days.
From here, we got our first look at Monte San Salvatore - more of that later.
Looking the other way, Monte Brรจ overlooked the lake (more of that to come too).
But for now, just some lovely views across the waters of Lake and the city of Lugano.
Much more to come....
