To Zurich in the Fiat 126, by Daniele Somenzi

Switzerland with the Fiat 126 Michela and I set off for Switzerland; at the border at Como we have to buy the vignette that allows us to travel on the Swiss motorways, especially since we are heading to Zurich, and doing the St. Gotthard pass as I did years ago with my moped is not a good idea, being all snow-covered. In a few hours we go from the Italian canton to the German one, at the speed, naturally, of a 126, 80/90 kmh. We then arrive in Zurich and look for a youth hostel, where we sleep before going the following day for a stroll at the magnificent little lake full of ducks. The trams run non-stop, and the cold is biting. Later we take an American Airlines Boeing 767 to go to Stuttgart and come straight back; it was a won ticket, for Michela the first flight of her life.

Back in Zurich, we got on the 126 that awaited us in the airport car parks, and set off for Italy, and on the way back, after a stop for sleep, here we are again in Bellinzona and then in Italy bye
