Lucerne.....more
Category: My latest Europe trip | Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2005 12:56 pm Lucerne is a beautiful city. It is situated next to a huge lake, which we cruised on, and also at the foot of some spectacular mountains. Here is a normal street. And a typical house In the middle of Lucerne, spanning the river, is a fantastic footbridge. This bridge is over 800 years old! It was certainly built to last In the bridge, at each support beam, is a pictorial history of the city and surrounding areas. I wished I could read the language, but even looking at the pictures gives a good idea of the history. The tower in the middle of the river was used for defense of the city long ago. It is now a small tourist shop. Also, in the heart of the business area in lucerne is a unique sundial. Not only does this sundial give the time of day, it also gives the month of the year. A closeup of the sundial. Sorry, it does not adjust for daylight savings! This blog entry has been viewed 54 times

Yes, it is very pretty. It was a pretty overcast day on day 2 there, but it was still great. On the docks (which I have not included a pic of) is also a ferris wheel where you can see both the lake and the whole town.
