Switzerland day 3

So I wasn't supposed to post till Friday but since today was so amazing and I have time, I decided I would.

Today I went to Luzern. I was there for about 30 minutes and then I got on a boat. I spent 90 minutes riding around Lake Luzern, which is an amazing, huge lake surrounded by mountains. So after 90 minutes I have to go wait in a long line for about an hour. Then I got on the steepest cogwheel train in the world and traveled up to the top of Mt Pilatus. It was beautful.

When we made it to the top I walked around for about an hour and climbed up to a slightly higher peak. The view was amazing. I could see for miles and I felt so distanced from the earth. The clouds were crazy though. One minute you'd be able to see these amazing mountains and then next all you could see was clouds....there are pictures to demonstrate. It was amazing.

Then I took 2 gondolas down to the bottom and returned to Luzern by bus.

By then it was like after 5 so I decided I should come back to Zug so I could pack and make sure I was ready to catch my train to Zurich.

So it doesn't sound like much cause there was a lot of sitting on boats and train and buses and a lot of waiting in lines. But it was still amazing. Hopefully I will have pictures up soon.

  1. I forgot to tell you something! There's a girl from Germany at Thrive now. This was her first week. She's an au pair. She told me where she was from, but I don't remember (sorry). I mentioned you and your crazy antics in Germany/Austria/etc.
