After our free time in Como, our group reconvened and boarded another train. This time we headed to Switzerland. (Country #3 on this trip.) Lugano is about 20 miles from Como, so it was a relatively short ride. Although it is in Switzerland, Italian is the main language spoken in Lugano. But they also speak my favorite language - Chocolate!
Our first stop was Läderach Chocolatier. So many wonderful aromas met us as we walked in! I love chocolate in any form, but this was another level.
We enjoyed tasting four varieties - Strawberry White, Pistachio Milk, Blackberry Dark, and Orange Dark.
I'm sad to say we did not bring any chocolate home with us. We walked out of the shop and thought we would come back on our way out of town, but that just didn't happen. We followed Patrizia for a few more minutes then we had some more free time.
Just like Como, Lugano sits on a lake. We made our way to the waterfront and just relaxed for a while. It was hot and we were tempted by the pedal boats that were for rent, but we settled for a shady bench.
There were some unique pedals boats on the water - they had slides attached! They looked so fun and refreshing.
We eventually met back up with Patrizia and the rest of the gang. The train ride home was a lot more crowded, but we didn't have to drive or change trains, so that was a win. It was a fun, full day!
