Grindelwald, Switzerland/ Lucerne-Tuesday, May 24th

Tuesday morning we headed out early, the hotel packed us a lunch instead of breakfast and we took a cog train up to Jongfraujoch. One of the highest alps in Switzerland.

It was freezing on top, but so cool!

We had lunch at the top and I shared with the birds...

There was also a whole ice room.

We took a little snooze on the ride down.

^The boys checking out the way the train works

We got back to the hotel and packed up to leave and head to Lucerne. I couldn't help take some last photos of the beautiful scenery as we drove away!

^Ed was quite the driver! We stopped in town to get some last pastries and souvenirs before our drive to Lucerne.

^Goodbye gorgeous Grindelwald!

Hello lovely Lucerne!

^Our hotel room

We got settled and headed out on the town.

Such a charming town.

We got dinner next to the water at Ristorante Rossini for dinner.

Delicious!

Got some Gelato and headed back to the hotel.

Another chill, beautiful town! I like it!

Grindelwald, Switzerland- Monday, May 23rd

We slept in. Finally! This is why we ended with Switzerland. We knew it would be low key, and not to mention BEAUTIFUL!! This is the view from our window. I could live there.

Every cow has a bell and that's the noise we woke up to. I welcomed it. I loved being in the mountains!

^ These cows were grazing next to our hotel. It looks just like a scene from The Sound of Music.

^Beautiful hills of wild flowers.

^We couldn't stop talking about how amazing the views were.

After our picture taking we headed into the city center to walk around.

Cool buildings

More cool views

A cool cemetery! I wouldn't mind being buried there. Each tombstone was so different and had it's own patch of flowers surrounding it.

So well taken care of and special.

Of course we tried out the local bakery pastries. Delicious as always...

MMM... Apple pastries

More pictures of the many different bathrooms we came across...

^A picture of the different trash receptacles in each country. Just fun to see the differences.

^Ed sampling a fountain in the middle of the town.

After the city we headed to Thunersee Lake

for some more beautiful scenery...

and a short nap.

After a quick stop back to the hotel we came back to town for dinner and had pizza at an Italian place.

Then in the evening we watched a movie and played Phase 10. Nice relaxing day!
