Luzern

After 3 relaxing nights at Camp Darby we were ready for our next stop. So, we drove through Northern Italy and the Swiss Alps. It was beautiful!











We arrived in Luzern, Switzerland at about 2:00 that afternoon. And it was beautiful! We decided to walk through town. Unfortunately, most everything was closed because it was a holiday - imagine that! We did find some chocolate, though! :)



The swans were beautiful swimming in the lake.



The water fountain was a little quirky but kind of cool!



There are cool doors everywhere in Europe!!



The Chapel Bridge and Water Tower dating back to the 14th century. The oldest wooden bridge in Switzerland.



The water tower was used as a dungeon until the 19th century.



Just really a pretty city!



The Lion Monument commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution. It's pretty neat!



After seeing some of the city, we went back to the hotel. Then Layne and I decided to go for a walk. Our hotel seemed to be more in the "country" than the "city." It was so peaceful. If you looked to the left you saw sheep,



and cows - with bells. These cows were so funny. It was like they were playing tag, so you could hear their bells everywhere!



Then if you looked to the right you could see the magnificent mountains and lake.





And here is where we stayed for the night. Switzerland is pretty expensive compared to every other place we had been. So, it was probably a good thing we were only there for one night! :)
