June 2 Thursday – Sam’s notebook in transit from Cadenabbia to Lucerne.

June 2, Thursday. Left Cadenabbia by a tangled route, for Lucerne: First, 15 minutes of omnibus to the mountain railway; then 30 or 40 minutes of that; then 70 or 8[0] minutes of little vile steamboat on Lake Lugarno (all of it superb scenery); then up a ladder road a[t] Lugarno — a wait of 1 hour there; then express to Lucerne. The whole a 9-hour journey — all first-class, no second — 8 of us 35 fr. each, & God knows what the 8 trunks (380 kilos) will cost; it has cost 70 fr. from the start to Lugarno [NB 31 TS 49-50].
