OK..first of all..Switzerland was SO BEAUTIFUL!! This section of the post doesn't show a 20th of how many pictures we took here! It was amazing! We hope to go back again soon! This is in Lucerne Switzerland. We started our journey here off with a boat cruise on the lake.
There are castles all along the lake. I didn't show half of them in this post.
The mountains surrounding the lake were amazing!
Our hotel....JK! I wish! This is a 6 star hotel on the lake. It looks very Swiss!
And another famous luxury hotel.
The view of Lucerne from the boat.
Not sure why but every time we asked someone to take our picture they wanted us to kiss. I think they thought we were on our honeymoon or something. Well...6 years later...we can have a couple right?
Another castle. Unfortunately it had started to rain here so some of the pictures look a little gray.
This was a statue of Jesus that a very wealthy women who lived on the lake donated after she made a promise to God that if he healed her from a major illness she had, she would do something for the people of Lucerne to remember him. It's really big!
This is me with my pal Anne. She was a hoot!! We were stretching our legs after getting off the bus and I started singing songs from The Sound of Music and Anne began singing too. Before we knew it her husband put down a hanky and people from the tour started making donations. Then we started dancing. Anne got a little carried away. LOL Love her!
This was a cool old bridge in the city by the river which was really RUSHING by.
Us on the bridge. This town was so pretty!
Umm...that might be me yodeling...
Look at how amazing these Swiss chocolates are! Do I see a Boston B?
Look at how cute this street is!? This is the cutest town!
The Weeping Lion Monument in honor of fallen Swiss soldiers. It was really breathtaking!
Raargh...
This part is a little out of order. This is a church by our hotel.
We took a walk by the lake and found this bench on a hill with a waterfall close by. It was really picturesque.
Anne took this picture for us. Just chilling...
This was one of the highlights of our trip. He we are at the base of Mt. Stanserhorn. This is a railway that takes us part way up the mountain before we take a cable car the rest of the way up.
It was very authentic with the curtains and everything. Here we are climbing with Lucerne in the distance.
Me with the conductor. Unfortunately I wasn't able to drive.
Here we are in the cable car with another going back down past us. It was a little scary!
View of the hills.
We passed this amazing rainbow on our way.
These are the old gears for the cable car that they had displayed.
Looking over the mountains. This place was cool because on the silver plates behind us they had arrow pointing to how far it was in that direction to major cities around the world. They had San Francisco. It was over 4,000 miles away!
The other side of the range from the observation deck.
The green color when the sun was shing was amazing!
And even when it started raining! I can't describe how pretty it was!
Yep...trying to fit into the Swiss culture.
Green Hills!!!
Hills, lakes, valleys, and mountains.
We took a little hike around the top to see what we could see and then it was back down and off to our hotel. It was a breathtaking day!!
