Neggio, Switzerland -- How would you like to wake up to this view everyday?
I am currently in a small town, more so a village than a town, on the outskirts of Lugano, Switzerland. The village is known as Neggio, and is home to a mere 350 people.
The village is positioned on the mountainside and overlooks the Lake of Lugano. The view is absolutely spectacular as you can see from the photo below:
Can you imagine waking up to this view everyday for the rest of your life? This is a view that would never get old if you ask me.
In order to get up to the village you have to take a small road, which is a two lane road, but is only accessible to one car at a time. The width is so small that it doesn't allow for two cars to pass at a time.
One section of the road is actually so narrow that you must roll down the window of your car and fold in your mirror to pass. Otherwise, you will scratch the mirror of your car on the walls that enclose the road entering the village.
This will be my home for the next couple of days, so I will definitely be soaking up this view as much as possible before I head off to Greece for three and a half weeks. Here I will be island hopping, so stay tuned for more immaculate views, such as the one pictured above.
I plan to do a 28-day steemit challenge where I post everyday for the next four weeks journaling on my time here in Europa, so stay tuned for some incredible content in the coming days.
For now, I am off to trek to the top of Monte Generoso. I will be posting photos from this climb tomorrow or even later this evening, so be on the look out for this! Monte Generoso is nearly 1,800 meters in elevation, so I can only imagine how far the eye will be able to see from the zenith of this mountaintop.
Shoot me an upvote and resteem to spread the word of my travels that way more people will be able to see and follow my 28-day challenge here on steemit! I will be seeing you all around!
Very nice view. Seems amazing.
oh yes, indeed.. very much so, a lot to take in and store upstairs for the remainder of my lifetime... a view i will never forget
cheers!
Would love to go back. Spent a night in Interlaken which was gorgeous.
yessir, this is my second time here. I NEEDED to come back it was that good.
Hope you are able to make it back to this beautiful country :)
Me too. I still remember being shocked getting to the top of the mountains and seeing cows.
Yes, yesterday I was able to spot, not cows, but sheep/lamb from afar
happy travels, my friend
-CIAO
Welcome to Europe! :D
I love Switzerland, I've been there 3 times visiting my brother in Zurich.
And I love Greece, it's one of my favorite countries so I'm really looking forward to see your daily travel posts. Crete has been on my mind for a while now, I hope you'll go there while island hopping.
Also that view is amazing and it looks very peaceful, enjoy your time and keep steeming! :)
Thanks Nina :))
this is my second time to Europe and Switzerland-- my father has friends here so we are staying at their place for our time here, such a peaceful and tranquil place for sure. We flew into Zurich and then had another connecting flight from Zurich to Lugano. When we first landed in Zurich the weather was very gloomy, but yesterday in Lugano the weather was quite ideal!! Probably because of all the peaks and mountains... one place could be raining and then right over the mountain could be warm and sunny, such a unique country in that regard.
Crete in on the list of places to stop, so for sure will be posting some shots of my time there !! can't wait to share my experiences of my travelles there and elsewhere :))
See you around, my friend !!
That’s weird... what are the odds that another steemian pops up in Neggio 😄
Welcome!
As @steemitri said, if you like coffee mi casa es su casa! 😊
weird is right, you are telling me!! the chances are astronomical is you ask me, but this was the one and a billionth chance of it happening hahah
Would be awesome to meetup/have some coffee in the morning. Have always wanted to do a steemit meetup before, but never have had the chance... this would be the first, as there is always a first for everything!!
Where shall i find you Mr. beard @the-beard ??
My house is just before the bridge going towards the woods. Hit me up on discord so that we can arrange a meeting in the coming days. My name on discord is the-beard#6668
Maybe @steemitri would like a cup of coffee as well 😁
Well @the-beard it looks like we are in luck my friend. The people I am staying with KNOW who you are, as they live right up the road from you at the top of the hill.
They say they see you walking your dog all the time and say HI as they are passing to church sometimes, etc. Shall we meet up tomorrow morning for coffee around 10 am??
~Looking forward to hearing back,
Respect
@conradsuperb hey man!
I’m going with my kids to play down at the park here at Neggio.
If you want you can find me there and then we can have a cup of coffee at my place.
Have a great day!
Noisy kids are the best!
@kus-knee couldn’t agree more : )
Hey Valerio! It was great meeting you today man... still can't believe we were this close!! What can I do to get one of your world famous cups of Java ?? Tomorrow, as you know, is my last full day here in Neggio, so what do you say? I've been itching to taste the wondrous coffee from the cuccumella you speak of ...
Yeah! Sorry I couldn’t offer you the coffee this morning. Unfortunately tomorrow we have a full day. Such a bummer that you have to leave so early.
What time do you leave Monday? I’m home if you want to stop by before you leave I’ll be glad to prepare you a nice cup of coffee 😁
not a worry at all, I know you had to run this a.m.!! Monday we will be departing Neggio around 9 am, so potentially could do a cup of coffee around 8 or 8:30, if this time works for you??
That sounds great!
10 AM it’s perfect.
Hope you don’t mind dogs, cats and noisy kids 😄
@steemitri you coming?
Hey!!! @the-beard lives in Neggio... and he has good coffee ;-)
... and come visit me, @steemitri The Mannequin in Bellinzona.
Have fun
Ciao
Hey!! wow that is so cool and crazy... Neggio is so small, who would have thought there would be another steemian here!!
maybe we can even visit the Mannequin... what exactly goes on here at the Mannequin, you say??
Looking forward to hearing back,
Cheers!!
Haha... I'm the Mannequin... Steemitri The Mannequin ;-)
ahh, okay.. now i see!! it all makes sense to me now :-)
Ciaoooo my mannequinnly friend
Neggio, Switzerland looks stunning. Great shot! I agree -I don't think I would ever get sick of that view. I'm excited to see your Greece adventures as well.
And it absolutely is!! I could wake up to this everyday and I think it would get better and better as opposed to the contrary.
Thanks for stopping by as usual my friend -- can't wait to share my travels with you and the rest of the community
Cheers !!
Very beautiful and wonderful pictures
thank you so very much, I appreciate it. The landscape here is just absolutely breathtaking ...
a must visit in my book
wow, its really seems you enjoyed your time there.
Yes, it has been fantastic thus far && I am still here!!
Switzerland is a city full of peace, many positive things that symbolize this city. Trust the world economy in the existence of Swiss Bank, until the city is beautiful and clean.
