I’m having some conversations I don’t generally get to have, and I’m sleeping in a villa built just as the American Revolutionary War was begun. That’s pretty

Pics today of Lake Lugano and a chocolate shop in Lugano town (which was CLOSED when I went back to buy chocolates!). Tomorrow on to England, the last country before home. Do you know that I've managed to be in three countries that all have different currencies and different electrical plugs? Disorientation for every reason...

Anyway, sunshine awaits you in England! And we have lots of chocolate... and the yellow spotted lizard was last seen in...
