We were booked for three nights in southern Switzerland called the Ticino region, specifically staying in Ascona on Lake Maggiore. When we left Wengen we had to drive through Interlaken so we stopped at a laundromat to do some wash. It’s not fun to do laundry on vacation but hey, it’s got to be done somehow when you’re traveling for three weeks. Once the wash was done we headed east over the Susten Pass. This was a curvy road, but it was wild and amazing landscape up there. We saw lots of motorcycle riders, some expensive sports cars, and even a few bicyclists! The top of the pass is 7400 feet! I think I would be scared to death to ride a bicycle on such a very curvy mountain ride like that one it’s lots of hairpin turns. It took us quite a while to drive over the pass because we kept stopping to admire the views and take photos. We then headed south with plans to drive the Gotthard Pass including the winding section near Tremola but we were sort of over the curvy road thing and it was getting late in the afternoon. We decided to just go straight to Ascona via Locarno and hit rush hour Friday traffic in Locarno so it was in total a long, tiring travel day. Our hotel and room were lovely though so we went to find dinner and just walked a little bit before going back to our room and taking it easy.
