Switzerland...Places !...Food !

Mt Titlis

After going through the maze and seeing the beautiful town of Lucerne,... Nyonyachef goes for a boat ride and mountain climbing.

Actually the best time to visit Lucerne is between June till September, summer time ! Better view during that period. Sad to say I went too early and it's was raining and cloudy.


Lake Lucerne
The rain did not defer me from going for a boat ride ! It was cloudy and can't see much, but the experience was nice...Cold ! It was approximately negative two Degrees Celsius out there, not that cold...but when the wind blew, you can feel the cold breeze soak into your bones.

Lake Lucerne
Actually, I was just exaggerating it wasn't that cold, until....

Mt Titlis
Help !..can't breath !..the air is too cool ! Now the temperature is negative fifteen Degrees Celsius. 

At 10,000 feet high and freaking cold, Erh...I was saved by this...Cup Noodles (Tom Yam Flavour). Hehe ! All the foreigners passing by looking at some "China man" gulping down the cup noodles as if we have been starving for days...


By the way, that was an expensive cup noodle...RM 21++ per mug !!!!

 Everything was so white covered with snow. 



Christmas Tree




Popsicle anyone...?


It was beautiful and definitely a good experience, if it wasn't the rain, you will be able to see sunlight when you are on top of the alps and the clouds below you. 

Feels like heaven...

Hotel des Balances


Old Swiss House
The Old Swiss House was built one and the half century ago. Many ranked the Old Swiss House number 1 restaurant in Lucerne. Sad I was backpacking so cannot afford to dine in  restaurants...hehe.  


Chapel Bridge and Water Tower


Buildings along the River Reuss

Dying Lion of Lucerne Monument
The Dying Lion of Lucerne is one of the world's most famous monuments. It was carved out from the natural rock of a cliff in memory of the heroic death of the Swiss mercenaries at Tuileries in 1792.  


You have seen the town, next will be the lake and the alps !
