Sitting in this antique carriage and enjoy the scenery, it is a rare treat.

In the dying Lion, also met the open-air concert by the Lake, the Orchestra also performed the saucy Merry, beside the River brought the audience applause on. We spent a short time in the Centre of a circle, the train until the afternoon, so I got a Terminal do cruise playing. Luzern-Lake is large, do not remember the name, I called a cruise ship in fact can be regarded as their city of transport routes and the voyage is complex, and different routes-intensive throughout a dozen small terminals. We randomly pick a more recent small Terminal called round-trip ticket about meggenhorn, 7 francs/person.

Indeed this place is not very fun, General, building nor too many features, it is filling the comparison attractivity of watch shop. Find a place to change money, first went to Zurich, only to find that they credit the threshold is too high, it is best to charge a handling fee of at least 5 pounds, raspberry and contrast of a few, final comparison of change at the station. Here natural scenery than previous Department, city of Oulu wind felt worse than previous Department, have little sense of history, more modern sense, cultural inadequacies more than luxury.
