One Last Night- Lucerne and Zurich

First, before I forget, yesterday we made a quick detour into the tiny country (very wealthy country) of Lichtenstein. We were able to get our passports stamped and take a few photos. We had a quick lunch at the only McDonald's in the country!!!

Today was incredibly warm (hot) and sunny. We drove to Lucerne and did a little walking and shopping this morning before taking a tram car up the mountain of Pilatus which stands at a proud 6913 feet! It was quite warm even up there! We sat outside for a quick lunch before getting on a cog railway train down the mountain. At the bottom we switched to a lovely big boat which took us across the Lake of Lucerne. We got off, did a bit more last minute shopping (not surprised are you?) before going to one of the best meals we've had in Switzerland at The Old Swiss House! We met the owner who is very gracious! They cook wiener schnitzel table side in a pan! Yum! We ended up at this restaurant because Annette is friends with a couple in Boca who actually have a house here in Lucerne .They recommended the restaurant. The couple is living in Boca for the time being and they have someone here looking after their house.

Once again we had another fantastic day!! By the way, the photo of Gaby eating ice cream is her first taste of an ice cream cone!!

Congrats to Roger Federer on a great comeback! What a match!

One last thank you and goodbye to our cute guide, Andrea and our stalwart driver the last 4 days, Claude!
