The story

We are at a wedding in Lugano. The son of a cousin of my wife is getting married; he moved to Ticino for work back in 1970. We take the opportunity to make a short trip to the Schaffhausen waterfalls, which we don't know. The weather is not the best and after the Gotthard it gets worse. We stay one night in Schaffhausen and two nights on Lake Constance at Lindau, where we see a timid sun. We are a bit disappointed by the famous Rhine Falls, because we expect them to be a little more imposing. Beautiful instead is Lake Constance and Lindau itself.
