Lucerne

It's been far too long since a blog post. Here's a few snaps from our time in Lucerne itself:






Along with wandering this wonderful town we had a paddle boat ride on Lake Lucerne, a nice way to farewell Switzerland :)

Giswill, Lucerne

As with most stays on our trip, Giswill was out of town from Lucerne. We had two nights in this sleepy valley, our accomodation a swiss chalet! The views were fabulous:

Watching the storm roll in:



Storm passes, sun shone again:

Swiss Alps, Lucerne

These next shots are from our trip up a mountain in Lucerne. We took a minature train halfway then a cable car for the remaining climb. Around 2300m up I believe, quite a ways up! We couldn't get over the view, I could've spent all day taking photos and absorbing the sights. Alas just a an hour or so but I think some of the best shots from our whole trip were taken at summit here.

On the way up:




And one of our first views:



Some multi-image stitched panorama's were definately the go:



More on flickr.

Our day in Lucerne itself and our surrounds while staying in nearby Giswill in the next post.
