Ciao Lugano

Sunday morning we decided to wake up early. We were worried about the traffic going thru the Gotthard tunnel. The previous weekend had waits up to 5 hours because it is only one lane in each direction and many people were ending their holidays in Italy. I guess it has been put to a vote to build another tunnel but has been continuously voted down. We were fortunate and it took us an extra 10 minutes.

The one nice thing about all the rainfall was it made all the waterfalls bigger! It was gorgeous and they were everywhere.

The peaks even had snow!
The drive was very pretty. We went back thru the mountains around Interlaken. It was much more scenic. However, it was also a bit curvier.

We finally saw some blue sky.
The sunshine and blue sky didn't last long but it was a fun drive home.
Neuchatel had horrible rain while we were gone but it did clear up Sunday afternoon. It was a fun trip and another place to add to our adventures.
Just a quick note - on Jason's ride home from work yesterday it was 5 degrees Celsius and sleeting rain. It looks like Autumn is right around the corner!
