On the Road Again
We departed the River Queen this morning in Basel, Switzerland enroute to our 3rd leg of our European vacation. After spending 12-days cruising the Rhein and Moselle rivers, it was time for our next adventure. The cruise lines bussed us to the airport where we picked up our rental car. From there, we hit the road again driving to Lucerne where we'll enjoy the surrounding area until Sunday morning.
Today it was a bit overcast - I guess grey clouds because the cruise ended! In any case, we are enjoying the trip even with a little glummy weather. And oh yes, now pictures work!
Shown above is a famous bridge in Lucerne called the Chapel Bridge (Kappell-Bruke) built in 1333. Our hotel is just a couple blocks from this beautiful bridge and lake - great location.
Originally the bridge had these pictures all along the span inside the bridge but a fire in 1993 distroyed a section of the bridge. It has been rebuilt but a number of the original pictures are gone. Below is a picture of some of the buildings in the area.
After walking over the bridge, we headed up hill to Musegg Wall and 9 towers that were part of a ring wall that protects the city. The hike was worth it with great views below.
Now that pictures are able to be included, we'll update previous blogs and you might see some pop in tomorrow morning with today or tomorrow's date.

Yay, the photos are back! It sounds like you had a fabulous cruise; can't wait to hear your opinion of river vs ocean cruising. Sample some of that Swiss chocolate for me while you enjoy the last leg of your amazing trip.
