Belated Postcards - Lucerne

We are now in one of my favourite cities in the world. It's somewhere inside the land of chocolate, good manners, snow, watches and UN-everything. Yep, you guessed it! We are in Switzerland.

Ditch Geneva and catch a train across to Lucerne. Here is some of the gorgeous scenery that you can expect along the way. These photos were taken on a train ride between Interlaken and Lucerne. One of my potential retirement spots...




Btw all these photos were taken in July 2005. The following views of Luzern/Lucerne can be your reward after an exhausting climb up a hill. You can see the old city wall on the left hand side of the first photo. These ramparts make for a great afternoon trail if you have the energy and are keen on going up and down the rail-less, steep steps inside each of several watch towers.
The medieval bridge with its hut like hairy roof is straight from some Asterisk in Switzerland issue. Loved it.





I remember really appreciating the architecture in Luzern.



My take on the Chapel bridge. This bridge dates back from the 14th century.



Old me against the Chapel bridge backdrop. I looked like a nurse who'd just been dipped in chocolate! :)
