      Lucerne

      12. august 2022, Schweiz ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

      Daphne and I took a lovely peddle boat ride onto the lake, even though we almost got run over by a ferry boat. Drank a glass of wine, while running away from bees. Took a dip in the nice, but chilly, water.Læs mere

      Luzern - Day 1

      12. september 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

      Luzern is beautiful, set on the Lake and the Reuss River, surrounded by mountain peaks. Full of European charm, lived in, and vibrant.

      A few photos from our walk in the Old Town. Commercial/retail buildings in the Old Town must have residential upper floors, so the Old Town is lived in and home to real people. There’s a noticeable absence of junky tourist shops.

      The weather here is very changeable. It poured rain during our walk. We were treated to a beautiful rainbow.

      To escape the rain, we darted in to the Opus Wine bar and treated ourselves to Swiss pastries and cappuccino.

      Day 12 : Off to Lucerne

      23. september 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      6am saw us rudely awoken by our alarm to make sure we were on time to catch the bus to Switzerland....pity the bus didn't have an alarm as it was 50 minutes late. It was a lovely trip; we passed into Germany for an hour or two before moving into Switzerland, and we were able to see villages and towns along the way. We had a short toilet stop for the bus to refuel ...Di and I were confused by the sign, but took our chances. Matt, once again, decided to leave it until the last moment to go and had to come running back when the driver called out "rouse, rouse". We arrived at Lucerne bus station and caught the local bus to our air bnb - we are getting very good at navigating local transport. A quick trip to the supermarket for wine and cheese and we set off for dinner - OMG! Molly had warned us how expensive food was here but we weren't expecting it to be quite so much...a green salad - 21 Franks; beef burger - 25 Franks...so we ended up with a meal deal Mc Donalds 24 Franks, and ate it by the lake. Looks like its going to be a hungry few days here!Læs mere

      A sud del fiume

      9. februar, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Ancora fontane, grottesche, un po' di art nouveau e infine, una casa col tetto a spiovente "col tappeto" (ricordi Marghe?) e la chiesa più brutta che io abbia mai visto. Ok, forse ce ne è una che ho visto a Genova che se la batte, ma comunque siamo sul podio.Læs mere

      San Francesco

      9. februar, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      La chiesa è davvero fastosa, per trovarsi in un posto come la Svizzera.
      Le loro chiese sono più essenziali.
      Questa invece presenta pietre policrome, affreschi, dipinti, bassorilievi pitturati, volte stuccate. Insomma, è barocca!
      Nota: in una cappella laterale c'è il corpo di San Celestino martire. Quando l'ho visto, ho pensato a uno degli angeli caduti, perito dopo essere stato sconfitto dalle schiere dell'arcangelo Michele.
      ...gli stupefacenti fanno male!

      Burning Bridges and a Dying Lion

      16. september 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Booking a hotel online with no previous knowledge is not my favourite pastime. Too many things can go wrong and occasionally they have. Add to that the financial outlay required for a night in a Swiss hotel and the pressure really is on. The Gasthaus Zur Weldegg however was an excellent choice. Located in Horw, a quiet suburb of Lucerne and at the foot of Mt. Pilatus, it is within a 5 min train ride of the city. The room is modern, spacious, air conditioned and very comfortable and breakfast is included.

      There is a sweet spot with hotel breakfasts that I rarely achieve. Having my usual light breakfast isn't an option as it represents such poor value for money. On the other end of the scale is to eat so much that you don't need to shell out for lunch and somewhere in between is eating more than usual, but not so much that you feel sick all morning and can't contemplate lunch anyway. It is fair to say that the sweet spot was missed today.

      The weather was kind to us and we had a gentle 4 mile stroll along the lakeside, punctuated by a number of stops on shaded benches to bemoan the level of breakfast consumption. Of the available tourist sites, we selected Lucerne's famous Chapel Bridge, constructed of wood and dating back to the 17th century (or 1993 if you take into account the fire that destroyed about ⅔ of the structure). The bridge has been fully restored and does look splendid.

      Our other must see was Lion Monument, or the Lion of Lucerne, a 10 meter by 6 meter relief of a dying lion carved into the rock face. The sculpture, said to be one of the saddest monuments in the world, dates from 1821 and commemorates the 600 or so Swiss Guards massacred while defending the French king during the French Revolution.

      Like a lot of picturesque Swiss cities, Lucerne is situated beside a lake and surrounded by low mountains, or high hills. I have to confess to spending too much time on Google trying to figure out when a hill becomes a mountain. There appears to be no unique global consensus although there are broad alignments between countries around 2000 to 2500 feet. Having been married for 43 years I have a much clearer grasp of when a molehill becomes a mountain....

      Luzern

      23. april 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Sejak SMP saya sudah kepingin pergi ke Luzern. Well, sebetulnya waktu itu tidak tahu kalau nama kota yang ada gambarnya ada di sebuah buku itu bernama Luzern atau Lucerne. Waktu itu Papa saya bawa oleh-oleh buku tentang Swiss, dan salah satu gambarnya yg saya ingat adalah jembatan kayu (Chapel Bridge) yang ada di Luzern. Yang jelas waktu itu saya ingin ke Swiss. Nah baru sekarang ini saya teringat bahwa rupanya foto jembatan kayu beratap tersebut ada di kota Luzern, yang sekarang saya kunjungi dalam perjalanan ke Gunung Titlis.

      Kota yang kecil dan indah, dengan danaunya yang kelihatan damai (tentu saja damai karena saya datang sebagai turis he he).

      Aufgrund des sehr bedeckten Wetteres ging es nicht in die Berge, sondern mit dem Zug nach Luzern. Zuerst liefen wir über die Kapellbrücke Richtung Altstadt und schlenderten durch ein paar Geschäfte. Anschließend ging es auf den Turmweg. Von hier konnten wir die schöne Stadt von oben sehen.Læs mere

      Exploring Lucerne

      3. august 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      A really quiet start to the day. There is plenty of upsides to staying in one place for 3 nights, however one downside is things can get a bit untidy. So after a sleep in and a bit of a tidy up we got to breakfast at 9.30.

      Lucerne is certainly not cheap. We are staying in a tourist hotel which is very comfortable but basic. So whilst the breakfast is not particularly cheap it is a good way to fill up for the day and not to have to worry about lunch.

      We spent the day looking around Lucerne and the old city. It reminds us a lot of Queenstown and Wellington in New Zealand but just on a bigger scale.

      We had a 'cultural' eye opener. There has been a notable number of police officers around. For the first couple of days we just assumed this was normal as the city feels really safe to walk around. However this morning a lot more of them were wearing body armour.

      We discovered that tonight Lucerne were playing a Swedish team in football and this soon become evident as the pubs along the riverbank got louder and louder as the day went on. By the time we finished our wanderings at 7pm the police were fully armed with shields and weapons etc as there were masses of very 'vocal and happy' Stockholm fans everywhere. When we stopped to ask if it was safe to walk back to our hotel the reply was 'at the moment yes...'. As we walked back we passed masses of Lucerne fans so we suspect we may be staying near the stadium. So that put an end to our plans to go back into the city later on and we ended up having dinner at the same place as the first night.

      We are not sure what happened at midnight. It was possibly fireworks, given that Lucerne won the game and the two-legged tie, but given how well prepared the police were and the previous history of rioting football fans, it could have also been those heavily armed police using their resources to disperse the fans...we will never know.

      I'd loved to have got a pic or two of the armed police. However the officer I spoke to, whilst polite, had a very steely look in her eyes and she certainly was not to be messed with!!
