Adventures in Switzerland continues

The next stop on our trip was a walking tour of Lucerne , Switzerland.  We got to walk on the 14th century medieval Chapel Bridge one of the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. It is named after the nearby St. Peter’s Chapel, and was built in 1333  It's purpose was to connect the  old part of town on the right bank with the new part on the left and to serve as protection from attack that could come from the lake at south. One of the characteristics of Chapel Bridge is that it has painting hanged bellow its roof. In the beginning, it had length of over 200 meters, but in time, because of replenishment of banks, it was shortened and now has length of 170 meters. After the tour of Lucerne, it was up to Mount Pilatus. It is  best known for its mystical dragon legends and stories of Pontius Pilate's soul. There I really feel like I got the Swiss experience. Not only was I in the mountains. But I also got to see someone play the alphorn. As icing on the cake,  I learned even 7000 feet up you can find  a watch shop in Switzerland. In the town there where a bunch of watch shops, even right by each other.  But finding a shop up in the mountains was a nice suprise. So, if you know someone who loves watches, run don't walk to Switzerland. They will be able to get a watch as fancy as their budget allows them.   Then it was nice to shop and enjoy the town a little more before our next adventure.
