Einige davon sind jedoch nicht so sauber und schön wie sie sein sollten!

Und der Fehler liegt nicht in der Natur, es sind wir die Menschen die rund um den See leben und die Natur mit unserem Müll verschmutzen, insbesondere Plastik, Ballons, Flaschen usw. nach dem Grillieren.

Die Tierwelt rund um den See

Wir beobachteten Enten und Schwäne, die um die verschmutzten Seeufer herum schwimmen, und wie wir alle wissen, und am Fernsehen und social sites sehen, leidet die Tierwelt rund um den See darunter durch diese Verschmutzung.

Unsere Verpflichtung

Nachdem ich im Laufe der Jahre in 8 Ländern gearbeitet und gelebt habe, habe ich viel Vernachlässigung und Umweltverschmutzung erlebt. Die Schweiz ist eines der schönsten Länder in dieser großartigen Welt, man realisiert das wenn man zu vielen verschiedenen Zielen gereist hat. Deshalb ist es wichtig es für die jüngeren Generationen schön und sauber zu halten.

Eines der schönsten Länder dieser Welt

Wir können uns nicht nur darauf verlassen, dass die Regierung unsere Pflichten und verantwortlichkeiten  übernimmt und erfüllt, es liegt an uns allen, an der Schönheit dieses großartigen kleinen, Landes teilzunehmen!

Mein Gattin und ich haben entschlossen, den morgen am letzten Samstag  von jedem Monate zu widmen, um alle Artikel wie Plastik, Papier und Metalle entlang des Seedorf Ufer-Areals aufzuheben.

The Beautiful Lakeside of  Canton URI !?

However, A few of them are not as clean and beautiful as they should be!

and the fault does not lie within nature, it is us the folks living around it polluting nature with our garbage, especially plastics, balloons, bottles, etc.

The Wildlife

We watched ducks and swans swimming around the dirty, and polluted lake shorelines, and as we all know and have seen on social sites, wildlife feeds suffer through that pollution.

One of the most beautiful countries on this great Planet

Having traveled and lived in five countries over the years I have seen a lot of neglect, waste, and pollution, Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in this great world of ours, and one realizes that even more after traveling to many different destinations, that is why it is important to keep it beautiful and clean for the younger generations.

Our Responsibility

We can not just rely on the government to do our duties and responsibilities, it is up to all of us to participate in keeping up the beauty of this magnificent little country!

My spouse and I decided to dedicate one morning on the last Saturday of each month to picking up all debris such as plastics, paper, and metals along the Seedorf Shoreline area.

Zurich to Locarno,

by train to the southern part of Switzerland.

The Gotthard Tunnel

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!

Riding through the valley on the way to our first stop, Bellinzona which is on the other side of the Tunnel; we saw several waterfalls streaming from the snowy mountains. Lunch by the Lake

l

Upon arrival in Locarno, we took off our jackets as it was really warm.
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.
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.
Along the lakeside promenade, there is a range of restaurants with great outdoor dining and people-watching!

We observed that most people strolling around town were really dressed casually chic which gave us the impression of an upscale, cosmopolitan-like small town with a tropical flair!
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 Caesar type salad 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!

Drinks on the Floating Ship
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 Mexican fare and great drinks. 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.

The wait staff started to bring appetizer plates with nachos, quesadillas, croquettes, mozzarella, and arugula salad with chicken, etc.
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.

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!

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.

Great day, a beautiful town we shall be back for a long weekend! Don’t miss this glorious part of Switzerland!
