Bellevue Lucerne

Another day, another long awaited destination, Switzerland via Liechtenstein. I was more than eager to start. In fact I couldn't wait; I didn't even mind having to lug my suitcase down four or so flights of stairs. Liechtenstein was our first stop for the day, but to get there we first had to go through passport control. It was quite straight forward; basically we sat on the bus and waited until they gave us the all clear to go through. I'm sure it was a lot more complicated than that, but he...

After a big night for all, we all slowly made our way to breakfast; some of us didn't even make breakfast. Breakfast out of the way, we jumped into the Gondolas and started our adventure for the day.

Once again we packed our bags, and headed down to reception, but the news wasn't so good. It wasn’t bad, it was more wait and see, so we had to hang around in reception for a while. Also waiting for news were the army boys that had crashed our party. They were all sitting at the door waiting to escape too.They were a lot more patient than us though, and within 15 or so minutes, a few of us had gotten bored of just sitting around and decided to play Frisbee. It ended up being a load of f...

Off to lucerne! Saw some snow yesterday on the way to ST goar - but nothing compared to what i saw today! I'm feeling a lot better today after some sleep... Lucerne is absolutely fantastic!
