Day 9: The Hills are Alive....

Switzerland is amazing!!! We all fell in love with this gorgeous country and the town of Lucerne. It has such a different vibe than the hustle & bustle of London & Paris. It’s much more chill…and a little bit chillier! J
We headed into Lucerne and did a walking tour of the city, the Lion Monument, the bridges, etc… Then, after some shopping and lunching, we boarded a boat and sailed around the lake to Stanserhorn. We then took a train up to an open-air cable car, the Cabrio, to the top of Stanserhorn.  What a view!  Once the clouds moved, we could see for miles and miles.  We hiked up to the summit and were rewarded with an amazing view!!
We took a scenic drive along the lake back to our hotel, but most of the kids were asleep and didn’t see a thing.  After dinner, we had some down tiame, wander time, chill time.  It was a long day, but an absolutely amazing day!  I know the kids loved it…and have even commented that they liked Switzerland better than Paris and/or London.
Hard to believe we’re at our half-way point.  Most can agree – it feels like we’ve been here forever and that London was sooooo long ago, when in actuality, it’s flown by so completely fast!
Weather has been amazing – I guess Lucern has had rain the last few days and tomorrow as well – sooo grateful it held off for us!
Tomorrow we’re off to Cinque Terre and Florence.

Italy, here we come!!
