Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny brought G some goodies and even left a special treat for Nefi; I guess Nefi didn't try to chase the Bunny last night 😉 . G is wearing all new clothes today: Bunny hair clips from the Easter Bunny, a Hogwarts shirt we ordered from Target, and a cool sequins skirt from Grandma Kaffy! . It was a great afternoon for a walk along the Birs and Nefi got all four of her paws into the water today! #lavieve #nefipup #happyeaster #grandmakaffycomestobasel #instadog #dogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop

On Friday we packed up and caught a train back to Basel. After we unpacked all our suitcases back at the apartment, I headed over to France to get Nefi. (A friend watched her for us while we were in Lugano.) We definitely had fun in Lugano, but we were glad to get Nefi back with us, too! #latergram #lavieve #butfirstletmetakeaselfie #nefipup #agirlandherdog #adoptdontshop #dogsofinstagram #instadog

On Thursday, our plan was to do a lake cruise on one of the big boats. That's exactly what Andy, Kathy, and G did. I had an intense sinus headache and stayed at the Airbnb for the morning. . The lake cruise was a hit, although they discovered that G lost her sunglasses (probably in the taxi on Wednesday). . When their cruise was ending, I headed down into town and met them at the dock. . We saw a giant fuzzy Easter decoration ("I'm holding his hand!" - G), took a little "train" ride around the town, and got gelato. . After that, it was another taxi ride to the Airbnb for dinner. #lavieve #latergram #swisslife #expatlife #playingtourist #allergiescansuckit #grandmakaffycomestobasel

After lunch on Wednesday, we caught a bus (eventually) and a regional train to Swissminiatur, which features many of Switzerland's famous landmarks (both natural and man-made) in miniature. There are moving trains, boats, cars, and gondola lifts to add to the Swiss ambiance. . The place was also overrun by a real cat (G's favorite part of the park 🙄) and a gang of lizards. . At the end, G took a ride on the train around the park and we admired the miniature Duomo do Milano. . When we left the park, we took G to a playground to burn off some energy. Then we went back into Lugano and visited a real grocery store to get stuff for dinner and breakfast. We took a taxi back to the Airbnb so that Kathy didn't hate us again 😬😂 #lavieve #latergram #swisslife #expatlife #playingtourist #grandmakaffycomestobasel
