Europe Day 12
Switzerland and
France
The Alps
The day in Switzerland started out foggy and cold. We took a boat trip on The Lucerne. If it had been a clear day, it would have been an amazing trip because we would be seeing the Alps all around. Instead, it was just a nice little boat trip on a lake and some pretty (and very expensive) houses on the shore. A little bit of a disappointment, but we can’t blame the tour company on that one.
Next we traveled by bus to get onto a little train to climb the Alps. This train was constructed in 1893 and is still functioning. The windows you see are open. This little train climbed up the mountain at about a 30 to 40 angle.

Going to the top might be frightening for some, hence this sign with a bit of humor.
From our little I-think-I-can-do-it train we boarded an aerial tram or gondola to ascend to the top. It was an ear-popping ride.
Still foggy for a good portion of the trip up, but all of a sudden we burst through the clouds into beautiful sunny weather. We arrived at the top and my, oh my! what a view!
