4 hours southeast to pretty much the most southern point of Switzerland, Locarno. Locarno, again lakeside, felt just as much Italian as Swiss. Much warmer climate but still chilly! We stayed at an awesome hotel overlooking the Piazza Grande (the city centre). We even ate lunch and dinner (from the supermarket) on our balcony watching the locals. Another very pretty town which we walked around following the tourist map. The highlight was climbing up to Madonna Del Sasso which had an awesome view of the city and lake. The church was nice also.
On our way to Italy, we had a stopover for a few hours in Lugano (50 minutes from Locarno by train). Again very Italian feeling, with most of the locals seeming to speak Italian rather than Swiss.
