We walked along past the church of Santa Maria Novella, which we didn't have time to visit. Our train to Milan left the station at 10 am. We had reserved seats but not in the same row, but the train wasn't very crowded so we were able to sit together.
In Milan we had time to find a snack and drink to take on the next train. In Italian cafes they often have an annoying system whereby you pay first and collect your food or drink later. So we bought a sandwich each from a kiosk and also some water. Eventually the platform was announced for the Zurich train and we had seats opposite each other. But the train was full of very noisy people talking non-stop. I finished my Prima magazine and then read A Time of Mourning by Christobel Kent, a mystery set in Florence, on my Kindle. I think the author has lived in Florence for a long time.
We arrived in Zug a little late and just had time to rush to the nearby platform for the Thalwil train. The weather when we arrived was warmer than forecast. We went to Migros to buy food for the next few days, and chose fish. As always it was nice to be home, but catching up takes quite a while.
I imported all the photos from my camera and will sort them out and update this blog tomorrow. Have now done so. These pictures below are Richard's favourite from his phone:
