"Day at Leisure" sounds relaxing. For us, that means sleeping in a bit before psycho-tourism takes hold. We didn't get out the door until 10 AM this day.
With no agenda, we each did some things together and a bit of our own thing.
First, we all wandered down to the Saturday Farmers Market
Then some wandering around
 |
| Strange architecture... |
 |
| Franciscan Church |
 |
| Clock tower |
 |
| Family tree on a building? |
Then we all split up and went our own way. I went to the train station (surprise!)
 |
| The old train station entrance. It burned in 1971and the new station opened in 1991 |
 |
| Standard SBB passenger locomotive. Class 460. 7500 HP. |
 |
| With a carbody by Pininfarina! |
 |
The newest Swiss trains. Long distance double deck electric MU
(we rode these quite a bit later on) |
 |
| Lots and lots of trolley-buses in Switzerland |
 |
| ...and steam powered lake boats! |
Another stroll along the lakefront...
 |
| Some art! |
Then happy hour back at the hotel - on Leslie and Eric's deck.
Our dinner spot for the last night together. A restaurant on the Reuss.
 |
| Cool little solar duck lamp on the table |
24,000 steps later, we were back in the hotel for the night. Some day of "leisure"!
Goodnight, Luzern, and goodbye. You are a wonderful city! Maybe, someday, again!
This is the end of our tour. Tomorrow we are on our own. Leslie and Eric head off to Paris for the French Open. We are headed back to the Bernese Alps town of Grindelwald.
