We began with a walking tour of the city, first visiting the famous lion Monument, then heading into the Old Town & crossing the Kapelbrucke.
After our tour there was time for lunch & shopping - many of the group had ordered engraved Swiss Army knives, others shopped for chocolate, watches & other Swiss souvenirs.
This afternoon we made the 'Golden Round Trip' to Mount Pilatus. From Lucerne we took a 1hr+ boat cruise across the Vierwaldstattersee (Lake Lucerne), then had 'fast passes' for the world's steepest cog railway to the top of the mountain. After a short stop to take in the incredible views we began our descent on a large cable car, then switching to smaller 4-passenger gondolas.
Halfway down the mountain everyone had a chance to ride the rodelbahn or summer toboggan, a hair-raising ride that all riders enjoyed.
Finally, after a long & fun-filled day, we hopped aboard a city bus into the heart of Lucerne.
