Lucerne

After the Black Forest, I went to Lucerne in Switzerland. Something to note about Switzerland. They like to be different so it's a different currency (Swiss Frank) and a different plug (the prongs are smaller). Lucerne is a really beautiful city with lots of churches, some very pretty bridges, part of the old wall, an amazing lion monument, and many expensive Swiss watch stores.

The lion monument is especially impressive because it was carved out of the rock.



You can take a boat and then the world's steepest cog railway up to Mount Pilatus. From there you can go on a half hour walk to the highest point (2128 m).



It's really beautiful but also very cold (less than 10C) which was very different from Lucerne (upper 20s).



However, it's a good idea yo check the weather before hand. It was very foggy so I didn't get to see that much.







You take a gondola down land then bus back to the centre. It was a very steep descent.



I spent the rest of my time in Lucerne in the city centre. More posts soon.
