Subject: Travel in Switzerland
Don and Denise,

We spent September 2001 in Switzerland, rented an apartment in Locarno (definitely not central but we wanted warmth and to sample Italy too), and used a Swiss rail pass to take day trips.

Try to see Lugano(consistently friendly people, beautiful lake, Swiss-Italian cuisine); Basel (loaded with architecture, history and charm); Zermatt (cannot go and not see the Big M).

Some photos and travelogues here: http://www.ualberta.ca/~pletendr/swiss/

Cheers, Pat
