Pfaffnau to Fraforeano – meant crossing the Alps from Switzerland into Italy, this is always a highlight. I never go through the tunnels, always over the top of the Alps, this time through the Gotthard Pass, beautiful views, winding roads and blue skies, motorcycling heaven. There is no toll for the Gotthard Tunnel, I noticed a long queue of traffic waiting to enter, it happens every year at this time.

I spent a few days in this area looking around.

Portoguaro – a medieval town used by the Doges in Venice to get away from the humidity.
