My Easter holiday in Switzerland is best described in list format. Efficient and precise.

Culture: ‘The International’, ‘Monsters vs Aliens’, ‘Keinohrhasen’ & ‘Gran Torino’. The Castles at Bellinzona.

“When in Rome…”: Driving in holiday traffic through the St Gotthard tunnel. Surprisingly short queue. Or so I hear. Apparently slept through the 17 km long tunnel according to driver.

Food: Very much and very good. Ticino pizza, Salsiccia lasagne and white Nutella spread among many things.

Weather: Very sunny and very rich of birch pollen.

Scenery: Zürichsee and cherry blossoming, snowy mountain tops at St. Gottard gas station and beautiful Lake Lugano in bliss Saturday haze.

Note to self for the next time: bring allergy pills in ADVANCE. Don’t be angry at yourself for not bringing the tripod for the camera when you go to beautiful places - it’s your own fault. Try to not eat as much as the guys around you - it’s not a competition.

There. Hope ya’ll had an equally nice Easter.
