Luzern is breathtaking. I took both a tram ride to the top of Mt. Pilatus
and back and a boat ride across. The city is gorgeous, and naturally, I
had to buy a Bucherer watch for my son. This was four years ago, and it
still works beautifully. I also purchased a Swiss Army Knife with a watch
in the center of it, and it too works beautifully. The knife was not
expensive and was able to get a couple for gifts. I did not see Zurich,
but I was on a tour which took me into Austria, Amsterdam, and parts of
Germany. I will never forget Switzerland. We also went into Lichtenstein
which is part of the alps, and I never saw such a quaint town with the alps
surrounding it. I also traveled the Rhine, and found out that the women
pick the grapes, as they have a more sensitive touch than the men, and they
pick the finest grapes for the wines. Switzerland is one place I would
love to go back to, but can't..........getting too old alas!!!!
