It had started snowing in the early hours of Tuesday morning and by 8 am there was a thick carpet of the stuff across the bit of Switzerland we were due to visit.*
But a day and half later it had all but gone and while there were pockets of heaped snow at the side of some roads the weather turned hot enough for most people to walk around without a coat and for some to sport just a tee shirt.
So we left Varese headed into Switzerland and spent the day in Lugano, rubbing shoulders with some very well off people, a couple of coach loads of tourists and a school party.
And before we got to the Lake there were the customary shops to visit.
