Our itinerary today was to go to the stone houses and Pont dei Saiti at sonogno. For our this trip, we are going to unusual places where mostly locals will go.
We arrived at Lorcano train station. The guide that I got from website indicated that the walk to the bus terminal was about 3 mins. This misled us. We walked around and only to find out that the bus terminal was actually just less than 1 min from the train station. Aiyoh!!!
Double checked for the correct bus number to Sonogno and board the bus. Swiss pass covers most of the transportation hence very convenient to just show the pass to the driver. Our first stop was the stone houses and we alighted at the last stop.
The town was very small only and we thought we could finish walking within 1 hour. The next bus to Pont dei Saiti would come in an hour time. We happily took photos of the quiet and unique place. Walked and walked, time passed so fast that we had to rush back to the bus stop before we missed the bus. If we missed this bus, we had to stay for another 2hrs for the next one. This would jeopardized our plan for today. Luckily we managed to catch it.
Arrived at Pont dei Saiti and was so impressed by the bridge. It was so special and the place was even smaller than the stone houses. The next bus back to Lorcano was in 2 1/2hrs time. We planned to have our lunch there while waiting for the bus.
Strange enough that we fully utilised the 2 1/2hrs and also missed out some nice views. There was a waterfall down the road where we only came to know while on the way back.
We went back to Bellinzona and planned to buy food from Coop. However, it was closed and we managed to get pizzas from Migros. Looked simple but it tasted good. Very economic dinner. Just cost us 5fr. Heehee...
