Lake Lucerne from the city wall

down the stairs in the tower

up in the top of the bell tower

Christy and I thought we were going to die climbing this tower but we made it to the top! there was an old clockworks with a HUGE bell - it was unreal

other view from the wall

Us on the wall

the city wall


we climbed up to walk along an old old wall that was built around the city a million years ago - the view was more than spectacular

another beautiful street


Rachel and Christy are standing in front of one of the many many fountains that constantly supply ice cold fresh fresh water that you can wash your hands in or drink right from the spout

the river in Lucerne

The door to the courthouse

the next day we would come back to this spot for the wedding

stork sign

The stork


across the square from the courthouse is the restaurant where the apero was held after the ceremony - it's called the stork and it is the white building - we were in the second floor room that overlooked the square and the Lucerne river - unbelieveable

Fresh fruit

stand on our way into the square where the wedding will be held on the following day! so exciting!

us one the bridge

the building on the right is where the wedding took place - fabulous and wonderful

Swans under 14th century bridge

Lucerne


This is just a regular street in Lucerne - OMG

Lion in the wall
