Day 14: Lucerne

In the morning we went up Mt. Pilatus. Unfortunately it was raining, so we didn't get the spectacular view we were hoping for but we did get a couple of shots on the way up. The technology of the railcar, built in 1891, was cool. It goes up at a 45 degree angle in places. We weren't able to come down by gondola cable car due to the weather.

Then onto the lion monument. Pretty spectacular, carved into the side of the mountain. He looks sad due to the Swiss soldiers lost saving the French.

In the afternoon we took a horse and carriage ride into the countryside, and met a cheese maker and his family. It was his carriage and he drove us around his village. Then we had some homemade apple juice and some pink wine. Both were very tasty.

In the evening we had dinner at another great restaurant.
