Lucerne

We spent a few days, exploring the city of  Lucerne, Switzerland.

Lucerne is about 3 hours from the house. The drive wasn’t too bad but we did hit some traffic as we got near to city. It was Friday around 4pm so we expected this. We arrived at our hotel around 6pm. Due to Mario’s status we received an upgrade room and free breakfast. We learned that most places are dog friendly. We called ahead to reserve street parking. We were a few blocks away from the main attractions.

After settling in, we went out to explore. Across from our hotel is a small park which was perfect for Sissy. It had a play area for kids, life size chess pieces and ping pong tables and lots of benches. Then we walked towards the river. We saw the train station and made our way to the Chapel Bridge, the whole reason I wanted to come to Lucerne. Then walked around and grabbed dinner from a Greek food truck.

Next morning, we woke up to a beautiful day. We learned Sissy was able to come to breakfast with us. This blows my mind since dogs aren’t often allowed in food places. We enjoyed our free breakfast.  We walked towards the river and then stopped at the chapel bridge. Then followed the river to the needle dam and other covered bridge. I wanted to  explore the Meggsburg which consists of 4 towers and a wall but unfortunately it's closed in the winter, so admired from a distance. We  walked towards the lion monument. Then grabbed a chicken gyro pita from the Greek truck again before heading back to the room to relax.

The next morning, we took one last walk to the Chapel bridge. Then we headed home. Since it was Sunday there wasn't alot of traffic. Another great trip in the books.
