My Italian break

Two weeks ago I spent a very nice weekend in the Italian part of Switzerland, Ticino. It's a shame but I have to admit that I haven't been there for three years! I don't even know why it just kind of happened. I somehow feel that since I got back from Dublin I have this urge to travel all over Switzerland and see everything. Go and explore places I haven't been at all or just for a very long time.

On Saturday we went hiking or rather we tried to. It was so hot and obviously I am in such a bad shape that it was simply too much for me. We had to stop and turn around after one hour. I feel really bad about that and I want to work on my fitness to be in better shape the next time. But it is such a beautiful spot. After I will be done with internship (soon) I might go to Ticino for a couple of days to enjoy the nice weather, the friendly people, the beautiful landscape and the great Italian food :-). Elena, I might also visit you, if you're home...just let me know.

Here are some pictures of this great trip.
