    Lucerne, Switzerland (Day 2)

    August 18, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F

    What we did:
    - Lazy morning sleeping in and lakefront jog for Trent
    - Headed up to Mt. Pilatus on the “Golden Route” that included a gorgeous 1.5 hour cruise down Lake Lucerne, then a Cogwheel train up the mountain, and finishing with a Gondola down the other side.
    - Cogwheel train was broken so bit of a wait (and not too comforting)
    - Did a short hike to the top of Mt. Pilatus after the cogwheel. Worked our way through a Trent panic attack due to the sheer cliffs but we made it to the top! Celebratory beers on the gondola back to Luzern.
    - Trent was extremely hot from this hike and our hotel did not have air conditioning. See his love for the fan in the pic below.
    - Grabbed a drink at La Bonne Cave wine bar on the river before picking up poke for picnic round 2 by the lake in Inseli Park
    - Friday night and town was buzzing! Grabbed gelato for a walk along the lake and FT of Jackie D. before pulling out our books to read. Are we old and boring for reading in a park on a Friday night?

    What we ate:
    - Cliff bars for breakfast and picked up to-go sandwiches from Twiny Station
    - Poke from Pazo Bowl
    - Amarino Gelato 🔥🔥🔥 and ate by the lake.

    Fun facts:
    - Mt. Pilatus peak was in 007 Majesty’s Secret Service (George Lazenby). Might have pre-dated us a bit
