We woke up, enjoyed another breakfast of meat, cheese, eggs, yogurt and sparkling apple juice and grabbed our bags and off we went.
I asked the boys to go find some chocolate for the train ride. They came back with this – which was delicious – but they misunderstood the price so it ended costing a fortune ( not unlike everything else in Switzerland!)
We took the train to Lucerne (Luzern) about 50 minutes away and then wandered the streets to find out hotel.
And this time I really do mean wandered 😂. We got a big lost and I had us lugging suitcases up hill!!
We finally found our hotel and settled in.
A day if site seeing was the plan and so we first headed out and crossed the Spreuer covered bridge.
We then headed to the Jesuit church (jesuitenkirke) which was beautiful.
We crossed Chapel bridge and found a little Italian restaurant by the water. We’ve been skipping lunches and just have early dinners but we were all pretty hungry!
Beautiful streets!
After lunch, we made our way to a few of the sites in the town – including the famous Church of St Leodegar.
We found a super cute souvenir shop and bought a few things.
We continued on our little walking tour and made our way to the Lion Monument.
We wandered through the town. Stopped in a few shops. Josh loved the Coo Coo clocks, but they are super pricey and is it one of those things you regret when you get home?!??!
It is not super big. We wanted to check out Lucerne’s towers so we headed towards them and got some amazing views of the city.
We ended up super close to our hotel – and called it a day.
We finished off our day with a schnitzel. Both Rob and Josh were so full and ended up not being able to eat it all! (I guess the big lunch wasn’t the best idea!)
Heading into the mountains tomorrow!
