Lugano International / Gold & Pioneer Event, 31-MAY to 4-JUN-2006

part 5:  photo rally and boat cruise

The next morning after the big Splashtival event, it was time for some outdoor activities in Lugano city:  A photo rally had been organized.


All club members were divided into about 10 groups named after the different Swatch product lines ("gent", "lady", "POP", "access", "irony chrono", etc.).  Each group received a book with pictures of the city and a digital camera.  And we received an egg (not yet cooked).


Our task was to find the location of each picture and take a picture of this location with our group. See example below :-)


It was not too easy, I think that we managed to find all locations but two.  We also managed the most difficult task:  To walk into a random restaurant, cooking the egg, and taking a picture of the egg in the pan.

Around noon, we all met at the landing stage of the Società Navigazione Lago Di Lugano, for a quick outdoor snack.


At 12.20:  FLASHMOB!  Swatch The Club Team Member Caroline Kueffer had her last working days with the club, so it was time to show some sympathy :-)  Lots and lots of hearts!


A few minutes later, our boat left heading for the little village of Gandria, located just a short distance east of Lugano.  This tiny village only has about 200 inhabitants, and previously it was only possible to reach Gandria via foot or by boat!
