Day 3, Aug-30-2010
Even though we didn't want to leave from beautiful Switzerland, we headed to Italy as we planned.
We took the route from Interlaken via Spiez via Milano to Florence. It took almost 5 hours. We had lunch on the train and played cards.
It was so interesting to see the scenery changed as we went to south.
The lakes were cool frosty blue in Swiss, but in Italy they looked more cobalt or navy. The depth of green was getting faded and it was more like yellowish in Italy, and I found that matches the building orangy tone. I could see dust everywhere it seemed the blazing sun light dried moist from air.
When we got off the train at Milano, it was totally different country, smell of cigarette, the bustle of big city, high-heeled fashionable girls, and families like gypsies.
We arrived Florence around 6pm. Hungry. As soon as we dropped our backpacks and duffel bags at the hotel, we were off to get pasta and pizza!! Yummy!!
