Nestled by the lake in the Alps

We said goodbye to our ship, and a lot of the group, and headed out to Lucerne.

Arriving at the stunning Schweizerhof hotel, we unloaded our bags and went for a walking tour of the city.

Lucerne, even in the cold light rain, is beautiful. Our guide took us first by bus to the station and then we went for a walk around the old town. It is charming and interesting. No wonder this place has been a tourist destination for hundreds of years.
