Sometimes it can happen that you dine on a Saturday evening.. and think and think about what you could do…

Day 130 Sep 2006

So after a tasty dinner at the Brazilian place near Varese we decided to make a little trip to the Lugano Casino.. it's already past 11 pm, it'll take about an hour to get there but we're not in a hurry... (I fall asleep... in the car...) and I wake up at customs just to give a smile as we pass through We arrive in Lugano at midnight, park and go straight into the Casino.. the evening doesn't go well, we lose 50 euros, but we had fun playing roulette. A little stroll in the centre and back home.

Day 21 Oct 2006

Yesterday evening made us want to come back.. who knows, maybe we'll recover our lost 50 euros.

We arrive in Lugano around 2.30 pm, we still have to have lunch. There are so many people.. it's the early autumn festival Ticinese music in the streets, the autumn colours slowly starting to show.. lots of stalls and we taste the first chestnuts right in Lugano.

4.00 pm we enter the Casino again, presentation of the ID card otherwise you can't get in... and off to the second floor... Today it's packed too but in no time we manage to sit at the round table...:)) the usual numbers.. and luck starts to smile on us...

wowowo we hit 4 numbers in less than an hour our takings have increased considerably!!

We've recovered yesterday's money and won more!! With a smile we go out and head back home...
