Europe: Part 4

Okay, back again! Continuing on...our next stop was Lucerne, Switzerland. One of my favorite places in Europe because it was soooo beautiful! We first stopped near Lake Lugano and had lunch. Then we rode our bus through to Lucerne, where we stayed over night. The night we got in Lucerne, we saw a monument that was a lion carved into the side of a mountain...very interesting! Then we got oriented to the city, including all the good shops to buy watches, and the famous "wooden bridge" that was across the water in town. The next morning we went up to the top of Mt. Pilatus! We road a really neat train and had gorgeous views of Lucerne and the Swiss Alps! It was literally like being on top of the world! After that, we shopped the rest of the day in the cute city! I bought a watch and some swiss chocolate, of course! I would LOVE to go back there someday! Here are the wonderful views we saw:
