On Sunday, we went to Switzerland again. Mr A still needed some clothes for skiing, so we stopped off at the Foxtown outlet centre. Mr A got a North Face jacket for 100 euros. He was happy to have the jacket, and I, as his tight Scottish girlfriend (as he likes to remind me), was glad on his behalf that he got such a bargain.
After that, we went up to Lugano for a walk around the lake so that I could get my fix of nice views and fresh air. Lugano is beautiful, with a turquoise lake, gorgeous grand hotels on the promenade and snowy mountains behind it, and the air was definitely less polluted than in Milan. The town is so clean and organised looking that it seems really strange when you hear Italian spoken around you. Just like in Milan, the people are incredibly well dressed, but combined with tidiness of the setting, it creates a sense of perfection that's almost unnerving. Nevertheless, Mr A and I both decided that Switzerland would be a very nice place to live, and you're never too far from the more flawed countries over the border!
