    We are currently in rainy Luzern. We couldn’t do mountains today and it looks like tomorrow isn’t any better. We went to Lugano today and now need to find an alternative tomorrow. Been will be rainy beginning at 2 pm. Should we attempt a day trip there? Any other ideas?

    Hi all. Bern turned out great! Cloudy and cool but nice to walk around. I’m a big fan of Bern! We are currently enjoying an espresso martini and people watching. Of course, I found some things to buy!
