Lucerne: City of Beauty

    Lucerne is one of those cities that once you visit it you just have to return. In 1971 when Lynda and I were student railpass travelers we camped in Lucerne. We took the cog railway to the top of Mt. Pilatus

  and the boat to the other side of the lake to continue our journey. In 1978 I took two Windsor Water Polo teams to play in Europe. My 4 year old daughter frollicked in the snow on top as we skied Mt. Pilatus and beat their local water polo team that evening. Ten years ago we visited with our friends Susan and Clem. This time we ate our fondue,

looked at beautiful churches

and painted buildings

and took a guided cruise around the lake. These are scenes from the cruise.

The crowds were small and the city was tranquil. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The covered bridge added its charm as it divided the river from the lake.

And the mountains, what can be said about the Swiss Alps except WOW!
