										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Federal President Guy Parmelin visited Pope Francis in the Vatican on Thursday, May 6th.</strong></p>
<p>In the afternoon he took part in the swearing-in of<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Guard"> 24 new Swiss Guardsmen</a>. Because of the pandemic, the swearing-in ceremony took place in the narrowest possible framework and without guest cantons, as the Swiss Guard wrote. Only parents and siblings of the new guardsmen as well as the families of the active guardsmen were allowed to take part in addition to a few selected representatives from Switzerland.The new guardsmen come from the cantons of Aargau,<a title="My Favorite City in Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/my-favorite-city-in-switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Lucerne</a>, Bern, Nidwalden, Zurich, Valais, Solothurn, Waadt, Thurgau, Graubünden,<a title="Third longest train tunnel in Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-third-longest-train-tunnel-in-switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Ticino</a>, Freiburg and St.Gallen. For the first time, <a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2021-05/pope-francis-greets-new-swiss-guard-recruits.html">the celebration was broadcast via live stream, from Vatican Radio</a>. &#8220;This morning I had the honor of talking to Pope Francis,&#8221; tweeted Guy Parmelin on his visit to the Papal States in the early afternoon. He also spoke to Cardinal Secretary Pietro Parolin.</p>
<p><strong>Guard in &#8220;Gran Gala&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Garde presented themselves at the inauguration later in the afternoon in &#8220;Gran Gala&#8221;, ie in uniform including armor. This is usually only worn for the papal blessing &#8220;Urbi et Orbi&#8221; at Christmas and Easter.</p>
<p>The body of the Pontifical Swiss Guard was founded in 1506 by Pope Julius ° II. founded, discontinued twice, and only reorganized in 1810. The defense of Pope Clement VII against the numerically far superior Sösdner army of Emperor Charles V at the Sacco di Roma &#8211; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Rome_(1527)">the sack of the Holy City &#8211; in 1527 is remembered.</a> 147 Swiss Guards perished at that time.</p>
<p>The Swiss Guard is still responsible for the Pope&#8217;s security today. The guard has been gradually increased from 110 to 135 men since 2018, as the Department of Economics, Education, and Research had announced before the inauguration. A member of the Papal Guard must be Swiss, at least 1.74 meters tall, younger than 30 years, and Catholic. The inauguration of the world&#8217;s smallest army always takes place on May 6th &#8211; in memory of Sacco di Roma.</p>

<h5>Barracks expansion by 2027</h5>
<p>In his address, Christoph Graf, the commander of the Swiss Guard, referred to the construction of the barracks, which should be completed on the 500th anniversary of the Sacco di Roma in 2027.</p>
<p>Because the Swiss Guard has increased its staff, the new building will offer up to 60 percent more space but consume 55 percent less energy, as reported by the <a href="https://www.kath.ch">kath.ch portal</a>, which is closely related to the Swiss Bishops Conference.</p>
<p>A special challenge is therefore the outer facade of the barracks facing Via di Porta Angelica. This is also the border between the Vatican State and the Republic of Italy and should fit into the street scene. For this, they need the green light from Unesco.</p>The post <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/swiss-federal-president-as-guest-at-the-swearing-in-ceremony/">Swiss Federal President as guest at the swearing-in ceremony</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website">Food, Travel, and Stories from a Swiss Chef Who Cooked Around the World </a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>geht in die Wildnis des <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(state)">Bundesstaates Washington</a> auf der Suche nach riesigen Alpenforellen in unberührten türkisfarbenen Seen. &#8220;Die Ergebnisse sind spektakulär&#8221;, Leif Steffn</p>

<p>Da war es wieder &#8211; ein allzu vertrautes Plätschern im flachen, felsigen Teil des Sees, vielleicht 200 Fuß am Ufer entlang, von wo aus ich stand. Ich hatte es schon zweimal gehört und nichts als kreisförmige Wellen auf der glasartigen Oberfläche des Wassers gesehen. Aber diesmal habe ich zugesehen. Gerade als ich das torpedoförmige, krachende Objekt, das von der Wasseroberfläche aus startete, als <a title="Fishing Day in Quinto, Tessin, Switzerland" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/family-fishing-day-quinto-switzerland/" rel="nofollow ">massive Forelle</a> identifiziert hatte, sprang ein zweites in die Luft und schnappte sich ein unglückliches In</p>
<h5>Ich war tief in den Cascade-Bergen,</h5>
<p>des Bundesstaates Washington unterwegs, um nach Alpenforellen zu suchen, um sie zu fangen und zu essen, und um ein weiteres Abenteuer für meinen YouTube-Kanal, NW Fishing Secrets, zu filmen. Ich hatte meine Angelshow im April 2019 als Hobby begonnen und Lehrvideos zum Fangen lokaler Fische gedreht. Als das Publikum jedoch schnell wuchs, wurde mir klar, dass die Zuschauer mehr wollten.</p>
<p>Sie wollten fühlen, wie es ist, tatsächlich in der Wildnis zu sein. NWFS war mehr als eine Tutorial-Serie geworden &#8211; es war jetzt eine Angel-Abenteuershow, die die Natur in die Wohnzimmer der Menschen brachte und es Zuschauern, die diese abgelegenen Orte möglicherweise nicht besuchen können, ermöglichte, sie zu erleben, als wären sie bei mir.</p>

<p>war ich mit meinem selbst umgebauten gelben Wohnmobil von 1998 100 Meilen von meinem Haus in der Nähe von <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle">Seattle</a> in die Berge gefahren. Der abgelegene Ausgangspunkt war weitere 12 Meilen eine Schotterstraße hinauf, die von mehreren kleinen Bächen überquert wurde. Ich wollte mich so weit wie möglich vom städtischen Leben entfernen, um an einem Ort zu sein, an dem es unwahrscheinlich war, dass ich eine andere Seele sehen würde. Ich wollte alleine in den Bergen sein. In dieser Nacht filmte ich Zeitraffer des strahlenden Sternenhimmels, während ich meine Kameraausrüstung für ein viertägiges Abenteuer mit Bergwanderungen und Angeln vorbereitet</p>
<p>Am nächsten Morgen machte ich mich nach einer erholsamen Nacht auf dem kleinen Bett hinten in meinem Van und einer Tasse frisch gebrühten Kaffees, der in meiner kleinen Küche an der Seitentür zubereitet wurde, auf den Weg. Ich war so leicht wie möglich unterwegs &#8211; in meinem Rucksack befanden sich mein Zelt ohne Stangen, mein Schlafsack, mein Butanofen, mein Wasseraufbereiter, mein Erste-Hilfe-Kasten, meine Angelrute und -rolle, Köder und verschiedene andere Dinge. Meine Videogeräte &#8211; fünf Kameras, Batterien, Stative und ein Solarladegerät &#8211; müssen das Gewicht jedoch auf etwa 60 Pfund gebracht haben. „Wir sehen uns in vier Tagen“, murmelte ich zu meinem Van, bevor ich im Wald verschwand.</p>
<h5>Eine Stunde später,</h5>
<p>wurde klar, dass ich an einen neuen Ort ziehen musste. Und da sah ich die beiden großen Fische am Ende des Sees springen. Ich trat vorsichtig durch die Heidelbeerfelder, die zwischen mir und der Futterforelle lagen, und machte so wenig Lärm wie möglich. Der Klang trägt sich an einem so unberührten, ruhigen Ort und würde den Fisch erschrecken.</p>
<p>Wie in Zeitlupe öffnete sich die Wasseroberfläche, gefolgt von einer massiven Forelle, deren Augen auf das Insekt gerichtet waren</p>
<p>Ein toter Baum und ein großer Felsbrocken bildeten eine kleine Halbinsel, genau dort, wo die Forellen sprangen. Ich konnte jedes Detail im klaren, türkisfarbenen Wasser sehen. Versunkene Baumstämme lagen zwischen Felsbrocken. Gräser säumten das Ufer. Es gab überall Insekten. Ich sah eine große Libelle, die anmutig Zentimeter über der Wasseroberfläche schwebte, direkt neben den untergetauchten Felsblöcken. Ein Schatten tauchte aus der Tiefe auf. Dann öffnete sich wie in Zeitlupe die Oberfläche, gefolgt von einer massiven Forelle, deren Augen auf das Insekt gerichtet waren und deren mächtiger Schwanz es aus dem Wasser trieb. Es endete alles mit einem riesigen Spritzer, der keine 20 Fuß vor meinen Augen lag. Die Libelle war weg. Ich wusste jetzt, wie man diese Riesenforellen fängt.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-9765 alignright" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-1-1.x95107.jpeg" alt="" width="275" height="183" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-1-1.jpeg 275w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-1-1-50x33.jpeg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px" /></p>
<h5>Mein Vater ist ein Biologe,</h5>
<p>der sich auf Schmetterlinge spezialisiert hat &#8211; das Studium von Schmetterlingen und Motten. Er brachte mir in den deutschen Wäldern bei, wo ich aufgewachsen bin, wie man verschiedene Insekten fängt und identifiziert. Während sich eine Libelle als schwer zu fangen erweisen würde, machte ich mich auf die Suche nach Libellenlarven &#8211; einer jugendlichen Unterwasserform dessen, was gerade von diesen Forellen gefressen wurde. Ich drehte vorsichtig mehrere kleine, untergetauchte Steine ​​und Rindenstücke um (und legte sie vorsichtig zurück) und sammelte drei Larven.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-9764 alignright" src="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-4.x95107.jpeg" alt="" width="275" height="183" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-4.jpeg 275w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Unknown-4-50x33.jpeg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px" /></p>
<p>Meine kompakte Angelrute wurde mit einem Schwimmer ausgestattet, mit dem Sie dem Fisch Ihren Köder in einer festgelegten Tiefe präsentieren können. Mit den Libellenlarven am Haken und einer Tiefe von 2½ Fuß unter dem Schwimmer entdeckte ich die Forelle wieder auf der Jagd. Ich warf die Larven vorsichtig etwa einen Meter vom fütternden Fisch entfernt. Sofort änderte der dunkle Schatten seine Richtung und ging direkt auf meinen Haken und das langsam zappelnde Insekt zu. Mein Schwimmer tauchte unter die Oberfläche.</p>
<h5>Die Forelle schlug und sprang,</h5>
<p>und schoss dann vor eine Kamera, die ich unter Wasser gestellt hatte, um die Aktion zu filmen. Ich hielt die Angelrute in einer Hand, griff mit der anderen nach meinem Netz und zog den Fisch vorsichtig hinein. Ich konnte sofort das Gewicht einer schönen Regenbogenforelle mit silbernem Körper und ausgeprägten rosa Streifen am Körper und kleinen dunklen Flecken auf der Oberseite ihres Schwanzes spüren. Ich hatte mir nicht nur gerade das Abendessen gesichert, sondern Tage, an denen ich Ausrüstung vorbereitet, gefahren, gewandert und gefilmt hatte, waren gerade zu einer neuen Folge meiner Show geworden. Es gibt nur sehr wenige Dinge, die lohnender sind, als Ihr eigenes Essen zu fangen oder zu suchen. Die Sonne ging jetzt hinter den Bergen unter und ich verbrachte den Rest des Abends damit, die Reinigung meines Fangs zu dokumentieren, Zwiebeln und Avocados zu hacken und die Episode mit einem köstlichen zu beenden Forellentaco. Das Beste von allem war, dass es nur der erste Tag meiner Rucksackreise war. In den Bergen, ohne Telefonempfang, Internet oder Fernsehen, fühle ich mich wie auf einer Reise zurück in einfachere Zeiten, in denen ich mich von alltäglicher Aufregung und Lärm befreien kann.<br />

Da ich für jede Lichtverschmutzung zu weit entfernt war, konnte ich tief in die Milchstraße sehen. Erschöpft kroch ich in mein Zelt, schlüpfte in meinen Schlafsack, schloss die Augen und wurde durch das sanfte Spritzen von Wasser gegen das Seeufer eingeschlafen. Ich war vollkommen in Frieden. In diesen herausfordernden Zeiten erinnern mich Momente wie diese daran, dass es immer noch eine schöne Welt gibt, die jeden Tag darauf wartet, erkundet zu werden.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Puerto Plata Flüge aus Europa</h4>
<p>Für Direktflüge zum Flughafen Puerto Plata in der<a title="Chaine des Rotisseur Chapter Inauguration, Santo Domingo, DR" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/chaine-des-rotisseur-chapter-inauguration-santo-domingo-dr/" rel="nofollow "> Dominikanischen Republik,</a> aus Europa haben Sie hauptsächlich Optionen aus Deutschland, Belgien und Holland.<br />
&#8211; TUIfly hat Charterflüge aus mehreren Städten in Deutschland, darunter Frankfurt und Köln / Bonn. Die meisten Flüge finden in der Sommersaison statt.<br />
&#8211; Condor fliegt von Frankfurt nach Puerto Plata.</p>
<p>Sie können sich auch bei Air Beling, Eurowings, Finnari, ThomsonFly und XL Airways erkundigen. Sie fliegen von Zielen in Europa nach Puerto Plata, sind jedoch nur auf bestimmte Jahreszeiten beschränkt.</p>
<h5>Eine gute Option aus Europa ist es, <a title="Ulrich’s Miami Mob Erfahrung" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/meine-miami-mob-erfahrung/" rel="nofollow ">nach Miami</a> oder Newark (New York) zu fliegen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Plata,_Dominican_Republic">Beide sind gut mit Puerto Plata verbunden</a>, dies könnte jedoch für die meisten EU-Bürger einen «Visa Waiver» erfordern.</h5>
<h5>Santo Domingo Flüge aus Europa<br />
Wenn Sie nach Santo Domingo fliegen, haben Sie mehr Möglichkeiten aus Europa.</h5>
<p>&#8211; Madrid hat gute <a title="Ulrich’s erinnerungen der Dominikanischen Republik" href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/meine-erfrischenden-dominikanische-republik-erinnerungen/" rel="nofollow ">Verbindungen Santo Domingo</a>. Die <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220624060713/https://www.iberia.com/ch/">spanische Fluggesellschaft Iberia</a> verfügt über Direktflüge sowie Air Europa. Vor kurzem startete die spanische Fluggesellschaft Plus Ultra regelmäßige Flüge nach Lateinamerika mit Anschlussflügen zwischen Madrid und Santo Domingo.</p>
<p>&#8211; Brügge-Ostende (Belgien) bietet Flüge nach Santo Domingo mit JetAirfly an, diese hängen jedoch von der Jahreszeit ab.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>The Castles<b> of Bellinzona</b></h5>
<p>are a group of fortifications located around the town of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellinzona">Bellinzona</a>, the capital of the Swiss canton of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticino">Ticino</a>. Situated on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alps">Alpine foothills</a>, the group is composed of fortified walls and three castles named <b><i>Castelgrande</i></b>, <b><i>Montebello,</i></b> and <b><i>Sasso Corbaro</i></b>. Castelgrande is located on a rocky peak overlooking the valley, with a series of walls that protect the old city and connect to Montebello. Sasso Corbaro, the highest of the three castles, is located on isolated rocky promontory south-east of the other two.<sup>[1]</sup> The Castles of Bellinzona with their defensive walls have been a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO">UNESCO</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Site">World Heritage Site</a> since 2000.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Pre-<b>History</b> and Roman era. <b>Bellinzona <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2476" src="https://ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-300x198.x95107.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" srcset="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-768x508.jpg 768w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-600x397.jpg 600w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-680x452.jpg 680w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-340x226.jpg 340w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-740x490.jpg 740w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-370x245.jpg 370w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland-1170x774.jpg 1170w, https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/map-of-switzerland.jpg 1530w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></b></h4>
<p>has always occupied an important geographic location in the Alps. To the south, the Po valley is accessible by a lowland route down the valley of the Ticino river and by Lake Maggiore. &#8230; The town that grew up around the fortifications was known as Bilitio.</p>
<h4>The fight over the Region</h4>
<p>Under the control of the Visconti, trade flourished, and the city of Bellinzona grew. Even when an alternative route over the Alps, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6llenen_Gorge">Schöllenen bridge</a> opened, traffic in the St. Gotthard increased to the highest levels ever.<sup>[7]</sup> During the second half of the 14th century, a long wall, known as the <i>Murata</i>, was built across the entire valley of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticino_(river)">Ticino</a>, of which the bottom is about one kilometer wide at Bellinzona. This wall allowed Milan to protect and tax the trade route over the St. <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/above-the-gotthard-pass-2200-m/">Gotthard Pass</a>.<sup>[4]</sup> While the city was controlled by Milan through the Visconti after 1340, the Visconti did not have a formal title and feudal rights until 1396, when they were granted by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus,_King_of_the_Romans">King Wenceslaus</a>. However, the orderly growth of Bellinzona was threatened in 1402 when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke">Duke</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gian_Galeazzo_Visconti">Gian Galeazzo Visconti</a> died. In 1403, Bellinzona was taken under the control of Alberto di Sacco of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Mesolcina">Val Mesolcina</a>. He held Bellinzona until 1419, when it was taken over by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_of_Uri">Uri</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obwalden">Obwalden</a>, which had expanded into the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leventina_(district)">Leventina Valley</a>. Milan attacked the city three years later in 1422, after an offer to buy the city was rejected by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Swiss_Confederacy">Swiss Confederation</a>. The troops from Uri and Obwalden were quickly driven from the city and later defeated at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Arbedo">Battle of Arbedo</a> on June 30, 1422. This defeat discouraged the expansionist intentions of Uri and its allies towards <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Maggiore">Lake Maggiore</a> for a time.</p>
<h4>My visit to Castelgrande</h4>
<p>revealed a beautiful restaurant within the walls of the castle, nestled away in, what seemed like a wine cellar, was the restaurant which was connected to a larger restaurant towards the courtyard of the castle, during the summer, guests can enjoy food and beverages sitting in the open courtyard of the castle. The views over the entire Po valley are breathtaking.</p>

<h4>Zurich to Locarno,</h4>
<p><strong> by train to the southern part of Switzerland.</strong></p>
<h4>The Gotthard Tunnel</h4>
<p>It was 8 ° Celsius cloudy and raining heading towards the Gotthard tunnel, the longest tunnel in the world at 54 km in length, the ride took 20 minutes, and as soon we came out of the tunnel it was bright and sunny with a temperature of 21° Celsius!</p>
<p>Riding through the valley on the way to our first stop, <a href="https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/destinations/bellinzona/">Bellinzona</a> which is on the other side of the Tunnel; we saw several waterfalls streaming from the snowy mountains. <strong>Lunch by the Lake</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upon arrival in Locarno, we took off our jackets as it was really warm.<br />
We decided to walk through the narrow streets of the old part of the town when we came across an antique shop by the name of “Bellagio Antichita” ( https://bellerioantichita.wordpress.com ) where we found restored antique furniture, fine jewelry, and sculptures.<br />
This is by far the most interesting antique shop I have visited especially with its lush courtyard in the back. Luggage and Leather shop stores are abundant.<br />
Along the lakeside promenade, there is a range of restaurants with great outdoor dining and people-watching!</p>
<p>We observed that most people strolling around town were really dressed casually chic which gave us the impression of an upscale, cosmopolitan-like <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/45-years-abroad-returning-history-filled-swiss-village-join-family/">small town</a> with a tropical flair!<br />
We stopped at an Italian restaurant called Sensi ( http://www.ristorante-sensi.ch ) serving great upscale Italian fare and great outdoor dining, a perfectly cooked al dente penne with beef bolognese, arugula, and Reggiano cheese made my day and my palate happy, accompanied by a Boston like lettuce salad with balsamic dressing (but the lettuce leaves where left whole layered on top of each other, nice and crisp! )another dish was a <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/hotel-caesar-salad/">Caesar type salad</a> mixed with other greens, 4 extra jumbos grilled shrimp with mustard like dressing, not your usual caesar style but great taste and presentation, Chef Alessandro certainly got my personal compliments!</p>
<h5><strong>Drinks on the Floating Ship<br />
</strong>The afternoon walk along the 2-mile-long lakeside promenade brought us to the gelato stand where we indulged in homemade gelato, for an afternoon cocktail we stopped at a pier that was leading to a docked ship called “Trinity Boat” a floating bar and restaurant serving Continental and <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/my-guadalajara-and-mexico-df-memories/">Mexican fare and great drinks</a>. The pier in front of the ship was set up for a large group of 20 people for dinner and while we were enjoying our Pinot Grigio sitting on the swaying pier, with great music in the background, some of the dinner guests slowly arrived gathering around close to where we are sitting.</h5>
<p>The wait staff started to bring appetizer plates with nachos, quesadillas, croquettes, mozzarella, and arugula salad with chicken, etc.<br />
The southern hospitality became evident when the host invited us to join them in the feast including the Mojito punch sitting on the table! What a perfect setup for a birthday party.</p>
<p>We had a hard time saying goodbye as we had to head back to catch the train, it was great just sitting along the pier looking at the beautiful glistening lake, the million-dollar yachts listening to great music, and enjoying the warm sun!</p>
<p>On the way back to the train station we stopped off at the restaurant Sensi again for espresso and to say goodbye to our waiter.</p>
<p>Great day, a beautiful town we shall be back for a long weekend! Don’t miss this glorious <a href="https://www.ulrichkoepf.website/the-hidden-spots-of-switzerland/">part of Switzerland</a>!</p>
