This is in the lobby of our hotel. Our room was not ready so we did a lot of walking ....Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. Walked past 10 Downing St. And tried to walk down The Mall but there is a big 10 k race here tomorrow and they had it blocked off. Apparently tomorrow will be difficult to get around because of that. Weather is lovely..quite warm and sunny but has clouded up now.En savoir plus

We have had a full day today! Took tube to Tower of London. That took a few questions but we did it. The weather was wonderful except for a sudden downpour when we were eating but stopped before we left. Had a terrible time finding St. Paul’s church and there was a line up to get in and we were weary so came back to hotel for a break. Then took tube to St. James Park, very nice and saw a marching band practicing.
We will be ready to go at 7:15AM tomorrow. Had a 12 hour sleep last night so should be good to go. We would have rented that chair at one point in the afternoon.En savoir plus

Hi All....had trouble sending comments yesterday. I don’t think anything went. Tuesday...Boarded Eurostar after security and customs checks along with hordes of people. Super ride, going 300 km per hour. Didn’t see a lot of countryside as there were berms and trees, but did see fields of grain and strawberries, I think.
On bus ride to hotel we stopped at Arc de Triomphe and did sightseeing from bus. Went out for dinner and boat ride on the Seine. Beautiful summer evening for the first 35 minutes and thunder storm and rain for last 30 minutes. Guide showed us many buildings on way home, rain had almost stopped. So many impressive buildings!En savoir plus

Wednesday... left at 8 o’clock for Eiffel Tower. Had a local guide went to second level, not all the way up but it was an impressive skyline. John and I walked down! Likely the oldest people on the bus so we had to prove we could keep up, very few other people did that! Then to Notre Dame ..huge and dark. Beautiful stained glass windows and statues. Statues told stories as most people didn’t read at the time it was built.
Then rode on bus to a part of Paris where people buy fresh foods and lots of cafes. A local foodie took a small group of us to real bakery up at 3 AM to make bread for day, fruit store for strawberries, then for formage, all kinds of cheeses. We stood in street and took hunks of bread, thinly sliced ham, and Brie, goat, and 2 other kinds of cheese. I enjoyed this very much.
John and I are not going with others to Moulin Rouge, it doesn’t interest us so will get a bite with another couple at a cafe beside hotel.En savoir plus

Today was a coach ride day. Saw some beautiful scenery. Crops in France look a month? Ahead of ours. We could see the blue flax in some places and grain we thought that was quite high but green. Saw a canal and thought of Dave, Nan. He’s likely been here for a canal conference right?
At six o’clock we went for a boat ride on lake Lucerne. Then we were on our own for supper. 2 Aussie couples and John and I ate together. It was gorgeous walking around. We decided to go up to a roof top bar at our hotel. One couple is quite large and the elevators are small but we decided to all squeeze into one!!it stopped at the 4th floor and wouldn’t move and the doors wouldn’t open. It was likely only 5 to 7 minutes but it seemed longer. Pushed emergency button. We finally pried doors open and someone was there to help us out as it as quite a jump to get out. Very exciting and stupid. John and I had the same experience in Victoria about 40years ago. Older but no wiser.! We giggled and laughed about the experience.En savoir plus

We had a train and cable car ride up Mt.Stanserhorn this morning! Wow Sun was out some of the time and then clouds would roll in. Had hot chocolate of coffee with schnapps there. Went to a working dairy farm..60 or 70 acres...Swiss brown cows. She prepared cheese pie, like quiche but with just cheese, Swiss potatoes, salami, chocolate cake and apple strudel and drinks. Then a carriage ride around the town of Endelberg.
We are divided into 3 groups to go to a local restaurant tonight. Weather has been phenomenal. They called for rain by noon and it has been a gorgeous day. 22C. The Swiss guard fought so gallantly to save the royal family ( a long time) ago an artist carved the lion in stone.En savoir plus

Voyageur You seem to have solved whatever problem you were having, Carol. I hadn't been on for a few days and was glad to catch up on your travel. I thought Paris sounded great, but this Switzerland report makes it sound even better.
01/06/2018Répondre
Voyageur Came through perfectly...sounds like a great time. More later.
01/06/2018Répondre
Voyageur Looks beautiful!! Do you recognize anything from the amazing race? They were in Switzerland on a recent one and Venice they had to deliver luggage.

Had a driving day from Lucerne to Innsbruck on Saturday with a short stop in Lichtenstein. Tiny little place with on Main Street and many tour buses. Got to Innsbruck and went for Tyrolean dinner and show. Yodeling and singing and dancing, a lot of foot stamping and leg slapping by the men and twirling by the women.En savoir plus

Voyageur Hope John's legs are okay after all that slapping.
