Back to blogging on our recent traveling.
After Germany there were a couple days spent in Switzerland. We stayed in Lucerne, visited Lugano – ‘Swiss Monte Carlo’ and went all the way to the top of Mt.Titlis.
When we just arrived in Lucerne we went to see the famous Lion of Lucerne sculpture.
See the outside shape of a pig around the lion? If you would like to know why and more about the sculpture, read the history of the monument here.
With the help of Photovisi.com I created a little collage of my photos of Lucerne.
While visiting Switzerland, most people would check out watch shops. I have little interest for these kind of shops. But, it was hard to pass by an antique shop filled with glittering crystal and bronze chandeliers.
On a beautiful sunny morning we took a boat cruise on lake Lucerne and admired a fairy tale-like scenery.
Next day we were off to the mountains. If you’re ever in Switzerland, the Mt.Titlis (3,238 m high) visit is a must. Breath-taking ride and the breath-taking view!
It is famous as the site of the world’s first revolving cable car. The cable car system connects through three stages. The last part of cable car trip leads above the glacier.
There were plenty of skiers at the end of May on Mt.Titlis!
Before leaving for Italy we stopped in Lugano in the south of Switzerland. Lugano is located in the Italian-speaking canton that borders Italy.

With this image of a lovely idea, potted flowers in a tea cup in a street cafe of Lugano, I said goodbye to Switzerland as we headed off to Italy to travel there for another eight days.
