Day 8: Switzerland - Lake Lucerne

Lake Lucerne is breath-taking. Such a unique shade of blue -always changing - and so peaceful. If you only look at the lower half and ignore the snow-capped mountains, it looks like Hawaii or a tropical island, I think. Chris and I borrowed the bikes when we got back and rode around Altdorf and then rode all the way to the tunnel where his Grandma got her first glimpse of Lucerne. Mostly uphill at the end - we were hurting a little - but the coast back to town was easy peasy. We hit a couple of ice-cold pockets of air on the way down. Chilly!
