Saturday morning we went to the Train Station at 0600 to hop on a 0700 train to Luzern. Exciting ride.
Once in Luzern, we traveled to our Hotel on foot. Small, quaint, family place called Hotel Garni Spatz. We ripped them off (we put 4 people in a 2 person Room).
We took a Bus to Mt. Pilatus and paid 30 CHF to go to the Summit. The view was worth it (and the Gondola ride up was fun).
Once back in Town, we saw the sights. We went to the Bridge (you know, that famous one), the Lion (the dying one...who knows what he represents? Really, do you know?), and the Casino. We ate dinner in the best vegetarian Restaurant in town (how was I supposed to know, the menu was in Suisse German) and drank some good beer.
After dinner we went to Mr. Pickwicks Hotel and Pub (where people sleep) and got invited to a table by some Suisse Germans. They immediately began to whistle Hail to the Chief--maybe they can see the future? We left them alone after they asked us to buy the next round.
Our pub crawl began in "Cheers" (they didn't know my name--or English) and went on to a Spanish Tapas Bar, then another Pub and back to Pickwicks. Fun night in all.
The next morning we left for Bern. Pretty city, but Sundays are always dead in European Cities so we just walked around and went to the top of the Church there (I think it was Munster Cathedral) and got more panoramic pictures. I ate some awesome Rösti there (it's a half pancake half hash brown plate full of onions and sausage and butter).
On the way Home I solved the Rubicks cube for the first time. I also saw da Bears win da Game and now they're going to da Superbowl. Too bad I wont be in da Chicago or da Indiana. Ok, enough of da da's and enough of this post.
A Bientôt.
