Up early to catch the train. It's a little complicated...the cog railroad down the mountain...a Swiss train through the Simpson Tunnel which was the longest tunnel in the world from the time it was opened in 1905 until 1982 (12 miles long) into Italy and then a third train to Milan.
We had a hour and a half layover in Domodossola, Italy. We had lunch in a sidewalk cafe where the waiter spoke very little English, much to Deb's delight. She got order a ham and cheese sandwich, all in Italian...you go, girl!
Our Italian train arrived on time (about half an hour behind schedule). The train went by Lake Maggiore, maybe a future stop for us.
Out for dinner at Platina, an excellent pasta place. It didn't even open until 7:15, so we had to have a before dinner drink at a little side walk place. Trip Advisor didn't let us down.
