ARE WE THERE YET? Roaming around Europe, July - September 2009 Just Mandy and Me...

The Beautiful Swiss countryside

SWITZERLAND | Wednesday, 12 August 2009 | Views [455]

Well, we are safe and well in Switzerland, living it up in Luzern. Its a great little place, right on the edge of a huge lake. Today we did a big day trip via boat around the lake then via the world`s steepest cogwheel railway cars to the top of Mount Pilatus. We hiked around for a few hours and enjoyed the cold air before heading down back to Luzern via aerial cablecar. The top of the mountain was covered with cloud 90% of the time and we enjoyed listening to all the swiss cow bells going off as the cows ate grass on the slopes below us.

Tomorrow will be hanging out here, seeing the sites, drinking beer, and relaxing in town before heading to Lichtenstein on friday.

My glasses were sent today and should arrive in Austria tomorrow, so am taking a deep sigh of relief about that.

Almost got taken out by a grazing goat coming down the slopes of the mountain, too. That was fun. It didnt seem to be able to stop before hitting the path :)

So, time to go once again. Mandy`s turn next. Hope everyone is well and relaxed in my quiet absense.

love Krissy xxx
