Switzerland - Lucern

After our stay in Zurich we boarded a train and headed to Lucern. It had a small town feel, but was still quite majestic. I also seem to be missing some pictures from Lucern.. argh!! Oh well.. I have to make do with what I have..





I believe these wooden covered bridges are about 600 years old. They've been partially burned and rebuilt over the years.



Inside the bridge you can see what I think were biblical images.. It was pretty cool.



Wawie on wheels, part 2! We rented bicycles from the train station and biked all over Lucern. Its a very picturesque town.. We decided at one point to check out a large park area on the eastern side of the city. We figured out a route on a map and headed down the appropriate road.. Rather.. we headed up the road.. it was an up hill road that seemed to never end.. At one point I asked a lady (she had a very nice mustache!) where the closest park was.. She said there were two beautiful ones.. but they were both up some other hills.. At this point we were exhausted.. and gave up looking for the elusive park.. So we just coasted all the way down.. taking random roads.. as long as they headed downhill.. It was lots of fun!









We also checked out this huge old wall that flanked the hillside of the town. It connected a few large towers.. Two of which we could walk inside.. When we walked along the wall it seemed fine at first.. Until Mazen said.. "Hey, this is pretty scary".. I dont know if he was joking or not.. but that really got to me.. I looked down.. observed the narrow.. wet.. slanting walkway.. and the three bars that probably would let me slip through and down to a .. anyways.. I started to freak out a bit.. but I managed to walk the length of the wall and back! Phew!





Wild primate spotted.. perhaps it's Yeti's cousin..





This was the view from our hostel.. It was a bit out of the way.. but it was a great place.



Here are some night pics..

The bridge again..



A church..





I'm not sure what this was.. but it looked great on the mountain at night..







I dont remember what this was..



I couldnt decide between the next two pictures, so I put them both in.. One is just a zoomed in picture of the other.
