What a beautiful place Luzern is! We arrived by train about 11am and took a taxi to the hotel.....already fed up lugging suitcases around.
However, the staff at Drei Konige were very helpful and friendly and allowed us to leave our luggage here while we explored the Old Town. Still wintry cold and we probably looked like proper idiots dressed for Tassie weather.
We quickly found a shop to buy two very useful windproof, waterproof jackets. Will come in very handy when we hit Alaska.
Tomorrow we are heading off to see Mt Pilates and do a cruise on Lake Lucerne.
We're still having no trouble at all with the language as everyone (except the taxi drivers) speak very passable English.
A very nice bonus of staying in Switzerland is all the free chockies they leave us in hotel rooms!
Can't understand why the Swiss are not all overweight. We see them in the shops buying chunks of chocolate sold in slabs. And the cheese!! So much in one meal. we chickened out of the fondue last night but we will try one in the next few days. Rosti was delicious!
That's it for now. Have to search out somewhere for dinner.
Auf Wiedersehen
