Beautiful City Sights...


Sunday afternoon we headed to Lucerne where we stayed in a hostel near the lake. We were happy to save some money on our room to help offset the high food prices. The city’s very beautiful with the mountains surrounding the lake in the city center. The Chapel Bridge dates to 1333 and is Europe’s oldest wooden bridge, but unfortunately had to be largely rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1993. The girls tried swimming, but it was too cold to last long. We enjoyed visiting a museum featuring a panorama from the late 1800's, the Lion Monument and the city walls from 1386.
