I saw a bald eagle yesterday. What a shock! Not because it was quietly gliding through the air without the piercing shriek I have always heard in the wildlife films. Not even because I was standing in an urban car park rather than some rugged mountaintop covered with snow. What really surprised me was that the big guy was in Canada!

They say there’s no free lunch. Well there aren’t any cheap ones either if you’re in Switzerland.
The train trip over the alps from Italy to Switzerland was supposed to be a high point of our trip – you got that didn’t you? “High” point?
It’s nice to stay somewhere that’s real. Varenna is real.
