As we were planning this trip we were looking for somewhere to go in between the Zurich airport and the Jungfrau region. We had a few options, with Lucerne being one of them. We went with Lucerne, but it was mostly just a precursor for what was to come. I have to say that my expectations were much too low. This is my kind of city. As much as I love where we’re heading today, I don’t think I could live in a carless village for the rest of my life. But a city like Lucerne totally fits me. The population is around 80,000. At the center of the city is a beautiful train station. And from there hybrid buses can take you anywhere you want to go. I may not be up for a carless village, but perhaps a carless city! There’s also a river running through the city, complete with wooden bridges dating back almost 700 years.
It’s 8am, and I’m sitting on the rooftop terrace of our apartment. The photo above is my view. The only sounds I hear are birds chirping and church bells ringing. It’s wonderful.
Here are a few photos from this part of our trip. In a few hours we board a train for Interlaken.
