Switzerland and Uncle Chuck

We have arrived in a new town and country. After picking up Bill's brother Chuck at the Milan airport we headed north!  Chuck wanted a little bragging rites to say that he, sort of, went to Italy -so we made a quick stop at Lake Como. No George sightings, but plenty of wealthy Italians looking very tan and preppy in top siders and salmon colored shorts (men) and espadrilles (ladies). Gorgeous place and don't begrudge George his choice. 

Had to get Chuck an Italian coffee and gelato - hey we were still in Italy. . 

Ten minutes later we were in Switzerland. 

Stopped at a breath taking rest stop. 

Then squished back in the car for a few more hours to Bern !  Great vibe, beautiful day, gorgeous city, cool little place to stay AND the river Arne. What do the locals do?  They jump in and float down river. So that's what we did too!!  Heart racing fun!!

Karl Fritz and Bill did a second run down the river. 

Checked out the city old city 

Played a little chess. 

And went and ate ..... You guessed it!  Pizza!!  What did you think we were going to have fondu in July?

And walked home.
