Switzerland-Day Nine-Lugano to Appenzell

Jovan had a big interview for a job in Lugano (he completed his PhD recently in Bioinformatics) and we needed to do laundry, so we headed into town and grabbed a coffee at a great spot...


And we explored Lugano and got out laundry done while he went to his interview. 

This was a cool whale tail sculpture on Lake Lugano. 


Jessica and IL Gatto. 


Jessica and I in front of Lake Lugano. 


Art. 


Jessica drinking from a fountain in Lugano. 


We met back up with Jovan (his interview went great!), grabbed lunch and got on the road back north. 

We saw a sign for Heidiland, which was a tourist stop for fans of Heidi I guess. Well my grandma told me she loved Heidi as a kid so we stopped and checked it out. We paid 5 Swiss Francs and an animatronic Heidi came out a sang in German. Grandma Joan, this ones for you. (Jessica took a video of this I'll share with you later). 


Jessica pet a goat, and we were back on our way to Appenzell. 


A pretty view along the way. 

 
The view of Liechtenstein (pretty much all of it).


And the border with Austria.


And a beautiful rainbow. 


We pulled into Appenzell in the rain, bid adieu to Jovan, and before we could put on our rain gear, it stopped raining. 

Then we finally took a picture with all the travel gnomes we've been carrying. 


Watched the sunset...


And said good night. It was good to trade in these for flip flops for a few days, but back to the mountains for us tomorrow.
