First couple of pictures: view of our hotel (National) from lake and promenade around lake shore.
First full day in Lucerne, Switzerland: Mt. Riji! To the top, via boat, cog-wheel train (steep incline) and foot (the last 170 meters). The views from the top were of a cloud, we literally couldn't see 10 feet in front of us, but from the lake and from the train going up, and the arial car coming down...spectacular.

We tried our hand at tobogganing (sledding) and decided walking was more our speed when going down a mountain! I had to ditch it into a snowbank because I was going to fast and couldn't slow down. I can't imagine doing that on skis! I kind of thought there'd be a nice fluffy hill that you'd sled down, then drag your sled back up and repeat several times, but no, the tobbagan run was actually down the mountain, with twists and turns and a very steep incline...no thanks! My travel health insurance doesn't cover hazardous sports!
After Mt. Rigi we went and saw the famous Chapel Bridge, then out for some fondue to warm us up after our snow day. Yum!
