Actually we enjoyed all of our "base camps" during our ten day trip. <br /><br />Our hotel in Luzern was only steps from Kapellbrucke. Step out the hotel door and into the street, turn right, and it was half a block away. Wonderful view!<br /><br />We visited that little Depot Historical museum went to the top of Mt. Rigi. I recommend it.<br /><br />I will provide a more detailed accounting of our time in Luzern later.

Luzern was one of my favorite stops there - I well recall the covered bridges and the Glacier Park, as well as the Lion monument, and the small military museum there. The panorama was previously unknown to me, however. My wife has Swiss freinds... we shall have to visit some day. She would love Switzerland, too, and May is a good tome to visit, with snow still on the alpine peaks!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-32977207945308717172017-05-10T16:36:14.408-07:002017-05-10T16:36:14.408-07:00This is a good one!This is a good one!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-74627479611259818182017-05-10T16:24:00.900-07:002017-05-10T16:24:00.900-07:00I love those sort of all round paintings....I love those sort of all round paintings....Matt Crumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841790422716738842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-28154569242551778472017-05-10T11:57:38.034-07:002017-05-10T11:57:38.034-07:00My visit to the panorama was lightly attended too....My visit to the panorama was lightly attended too.
