Swiss You Were Here (Part 8)

Our last full day in Swizterland... where had the time gone?! We were sad our trip was almost over, but also ready to be home! We had breakfast at our hotel, which was not your standard American continental breakfast. There were lunch meats, baguettes, a couple of cereals, and a few other things I can't remember. It wasn't bad, it was just not what we were used to! 

After breakfast, we walked to the dock and hopped on a boat for Vitznau. We cruised along Lake Luzern on our way to Mount Rigi. The scenery, unsurprisingly, was beautiful. It was hazy, so the pictures didn't turn out great. Oh well! We'll always remember how pretty it really was. 

Maroon Friday in Switzerland!

We arrived in Vitznau and hopped on the train to Mount Rigi. After a 30 minute train ride, we arrived at the top. And it was WINDY! We roamed around the top some, took a few pictures, then began our hike to Rigi Kaltbald.

We hiked down to Rigi Kaltbald, but it wasn't a really pretty hike. We did see some cows though!

After getting to Rigi Kaltbald, we took the cable car down to Weggis. We found our way to the dock and got some ice cream while waiting on the boat back to Luzern. It was no Sunny Skies, but it sure hit the spot. The boat ride on the way back was hot and sunny! We were wishing we had brought our swim suits so we could just jump in the lake! We got back to Luzern and were starving. We did have snacks during our hike (and the ice cream), but since it was late afternoon now, it was time to get some real food. And guess what we managed to find?! Fried shrimp and fries! This was the best meal we had the whole trip. Ha! We went to Migros and bought some chocolate, then stopped by their restaurant. We saw the fried shrimp and that was it! We wandered around town for a while after our (really late) lunch, then headed back to the hotel to pack up and rest for a looooong travel day.
