The plan was to wake up as early as possiible like 7ish at the latest but what happened was 7ish was too early and Phydie must still be snoring at that time that the possible time was turned into 9ish. Phydie's freaking celfone kept on alarming and now matter how long I waited for her to shut it&nb…

The rain is gone and almost all of the clouds too. It’s a beautiful day and we get to spend it strolling Lucerne.  There was an optional thingy available to take a gondola ride to the top of one of the local very tall mountains, but neither my hubby or I enjoy extreme heights or the possibil…

Luzern is for Lovers! is the motto of this beautiful town on the Reuss River.  And so it is the perfect location to spend a romantic weekend!  Staying a the Romantik Wilden Mann hotel was a nice choice for both the ambience and the central location.  There were so many nice…

Today turned out to be a fun day full of randomness and spontaniousness! (if that's a real word..) We were supposed to take the Cogwheel up to Mount Pilatus today but when we woke up it was cold, pouring rain, and a little bit windy. So even though we got a discount on the tour because we had Eurai…

Would love to live there one month each year until I've had enough!

I arrived pretty late in the afternoon due to a meeting in Brussels. I rented a car in Zurich in order to make a quick drive to Lucerne and catch some of the late sessions on the conference I was attending. I asked for a navigation not that I could not find from Zurich to Lucerne but to have the …

6:30 AM: I wont write much this morning because i am using a swiss laptop (mine is in the bag) and even simple things, such as capitalization, are different. And the z kez is where the y kez should be. Anzwaz, zesterdaz was great and i will write about it in more detail when i have the photos read…

Today we basically had the whole day to do some sight seeing around Lucerne.  It was a perfect day too! We walked over the amasing Chapel Bridge, and headed towards our first stop, the swiss army knofe and watch shop!! Note: Along the tour, the tour manager would take us to ahops affiliated wi…

With Switzerland being so small, we often opted for the scenic routes by the lakes (that didn't go to the tops of mountains) when traveling city to city.  Once we arrived in the city, we took a boat tour of the lake and then walked around the city for a little bit.  My fatigue was not get…

We woke up on our free day in Lucerne with hopes of going up Mt. Pilatus on a gondola, but it ended up being very rainy and cool, and foggy up high, so the gondola ride was cancelled, which was very disappointing. So, after breakfast (which was fantastic- eggs, bacon, bread rolls, and spreads, etc.…

I have been 3 times at luzern, always going at the one of our supplier's factory, that's why I can't make tourism for the zone( I work from 8 to 17h ) I miss the Mount Rigi :( Luzern is something stange, It's a city but you feel that you're in a town. On Lucerne the people talks mainly Germ…

Woke up really early to catch the train from Innsbruck to Zurich to Lucerne, it took about 5 hours.  Headed straight to the tourist information office at the train station to get some information on the city and Mt. Pilatus.  They were extremely helpful, got a whole bunch of brochures and…

I had always pictured Switzerland as the land of mountains. High snow-capped peaks with shepherds yodelling to each other across canyons. After Lucerne I'll now think of Switzerland as the land of lakes. In retrospect it makes perfect sense for the tiny villages to be settled on the fertile edges o…
