The sleeping lion monument

Well we arrived in Lucern in the afternoon and we headed straight to the youth hostel. Once we got our room organised we headed out to get lunch. We had a bit of a look around the town and went to the tourist information centre to get some ideas on what to do.

We went to the tourist information at 9.00 a.m. the next morning and got tickets to go to Mt Pilatus. It was fantastic, the day was awesome and the view spectacular. You had to catch two gondolas that were small ones with just us in them and then one really large one that holds about 30 people to go the last 5 minutes. The last one goes really fast and really steep and you feel like you are going to die. Alas we did not!

It was -3 degrees when we arrived on the top but the sun was out and I even managed to get sun burnt. We spent about 2 hours up the top before we decided to come down.

Tomorrow we head to Interlarken, and I hope we get good weather for Jungfraujoch.
