Weekend 1 - May 2
I arrived Saturday night and was up bright and early for a bike ride around Switzerland. Airolo to Biasco, take train to Lugano – southern most part of Switzerland in the Italian region. Wore shorts the whole time – perhaps it was withdrawal from Calgary’s cold weather before I left or because Switzerland was only mildly warmer. The ride was mostly downhill, and I witnessed my first Swiss cow – and they DO have bells. Maybe it’s become a tourist attraction but for some reason I can’t see why all the cows need bells – do they get lost in the mountains and the farmer can identity a cow by it’s bell? I don’t have acute hearing like that but it’s scenic and I get distracted from the bike path, which led to a minor collision with a fence post and some barbed wire…
