Today the weather cleared enough for us to take the round trip to Mt Pilatus. We started our journey with a 90 minute cruise on lake Lucerne to Alpnachstad. We then boarded the steepest cog railway in the world to ascend Mt Pilatus. A height of 2132metres above sea level. The train ride took 30 minutes and then we were in the snow!
Unfortunately, snow and ice can be a bit slippery and who should fall flat on her bum?? (Twisted my right leg and am now resting back at the hotel....but I digress) the photo of Peter and I in the snow was taken after the fall...note he is clutching me quite firmly
We had lunch in the self serve restaurant and bought a couple of souvenirs...a woolly hat for me for Alaska and a little present for Joe.
The way back down the mountain to Kriens was via cable car and then gondola. Great fun
It was a bit tricky walking back to the bus top to get back to Lucerne and then back to the hotel but a bit of ice on the leg, an anti inflammatory tablet and some nurofen gel....I should be fine!
Off to Poschiavo tomorrow, can't wait.
All in all, a very eventful day.
where are your gloves??
ReplyDeleteBack in the suitcase! Hands in pockets most of the day and we didn't throw any snowballs!
