The weather has been uncooporative the last few days, nonetheless I was able to sneak in some sight seeing inbetween intermitent storms.
On the second day I swam in the lake for some time. Since it was cool and grey I had the lake to myself. Even in the weather it was such a nice experience to float in the water.
An unexpected twist… as I went to upload my pictures I found that the files were not there. The pictures are gone saving six that were taken in Zurich on Tuesday. Well this is disappointing.
I can only relate what I saw of Lucerne. It is a 50 minute drive from Zurich and is deeper in the Alps. The city sits on a spider like lake and is in a traditional medieval style. In particular there is two wooden bridges that cross a river entering the lake that are quite old. On one of the bridges sits a tower. Looking across old town up a slight hill there is a medieval wall encapsulating that side of the river. Though it is in the alps the weather prevented any sight beyond the foothills.
I am disappointed to see my photos gone, I remember the day but I will forget probably what I saw. I guess I will have to visit again some day.
As I write this post the weather has cleared overnight and the Alps are once again in plain sight. I would like to return here one day to hike and camp in the high mountains.
