Luzern - Part One (because there's just too much stuff in Luzern for one post)

 We are at the train station in Luzern - with our luggage.  We've had a pretty easy day so far.  It was a short, downhill walk from the hotel to the train station in Lauterbrunnen, a simple connection at Interlaken and a short walk down the platform in Luzern.  Our tour says the hotel is walkable - "15 minutes by foot". It's 80 degrees.  We look across the lake to our hotel, over there, a mile away on that hill.   Taxi!


Our Hotel is called The Art Deco Hotel Montana.  An older place that has had very nice recent renovation.  The Art Deco part is understandable.  The Montana part is not. There was neither a Ted Turner or Bison anywhere in sight.



Luzern is on a big lake, ringed by hills and mountains.  We went for a quick walk along the lakefront, and then headed back to the hotel for cocktail hour.

The hotel had a lounge on a roof overlooking the lake.  It was a faux-beach, covered in sand.

Cocktail hour.  Followed by dinner here.

Tomorrow.  A big day.  A walk, a cruise and a mountain.
