Last weekend
Last weekend we went to Locarno with my cousin and my aunt. Locarno is in Ticino were they speak Italian in the southern part of Switzerland. It was a three hour train ride from Zurich, on the way there we stopped in Bellinzona. Bellinzona has lots of castles because it is situated in a narrow part in a valley that is the only way to get from Germany to Italy without going over any mountains. The next day we went on a hike twenty minutes out of Locarno. We got there on the Locarno regional transport called Fart. There we took a gondola over a huge chasm to a small village. It was very awkward at the bottom we were there with another elderly couple and nobody was attending it. It took a little while for us to figure out that we had to press a green button to make it go. Everyone had a laugh. The hike was very nice. Along the way there was a serve yourself bar and we stopped and bought ourselves some honey. The next day we went to the thermal baths it was amazing, and all the water was salty. There was one big bath that had a part outside and inside. After that that we took the train home the kind of train we were on was a tilting train. It was a very fun trip.
