The Roaming Robots

After a wonderful couple of days in Zurich it was off to Luzern, Switzerland.  We got there and got checked in and then went to check out the waterfront. There is a river that runs through the town and it was pretty nice  Luzern was overall prettier than Zurich, but I preferred Zurich more. I'm not sure why. Luzern was alright, but it is not high on my list of places to go back to (even if it is picture perfect and we did lots of fun things there) Kappelbrücke - the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe with paintings of events in Luzern's history The downtown was really nice to wander around and spy  We even found an ice cream cart that had vegan eis! Lake Lucerne Lots of places to stop and sit and have a beverage along the water While we were sitting with a beverage these guys came by doing some capoeira! Seriously beautiful town Dinner at Phana...

Our last day in Zurich we went out to Uetilberg to check out the views On the walk to the viewpoint, there is part of the solar system trail. The planets are to scale compared to the sun (above) and the distance is to scale as well Mercury is a tiny dot in the blue Venus is slightly larger And the last planet we saw on the trail - Earth Some fun lights And the viewing platform Benches at the overlook It was beautiful! Still clouds covering the mountains in the distance, but it was still really gorgeous The viewpoint from the viewing platform (the viewing platform cost a euro) And the view from the viewpoint on the ground A weird zoo(?) thing by the train station And back to Zurich for lunch But first - the Polybahn! It was closed the day prior so we couldn't ride it then when we rode the other two This takes you up to the university ...
