We're leaving tomorrow morning to spend some time in Lugano. We plan to meet up with some friends who are in the region on holiday from Edinburgh. The last time we met these friends was in San Diego, and the time before that, was in Paris. Who knows where we will meet next?
It's about a three hour train ride and even though we might not need them, we wanted to get seat reservations. Little Geek Girl is still pretty light, but she is long and poky, and neither of us wants her on our lap if the train ends up being full. Since LGG is still five, she doesn't need a ticket, but in order to make a seat reservation for her, she needs a Junior Card. For 20 CHF a year, a Junior Card allows a child between 6 and 16 to travel for free with a paying parent.
We were wondering if we would have to choose a parent to get the card. It turns out both parents get the Junior Card. So now we have the ability to make seat reservations for longer trips, and we were going to need the card in another four months anyways when she turns six.

Me again! We went to Lugano a couple weekends ago and had a great time. We took the funicular up Monte Bre, paid for both up and down, but we decided to hike down instead. It was a tough hike, but the path dropped us off right at Ristorante Gandria (Gandria is a small town on the Lake) where we had a GREAT lunch. We found the boat dock down in Gandria and that's how we got back to Lugano. Lots of fun!!! I hope you enjoy it as well!
