Decided to make the most of Tobes still feeling fine, and made the trip to Lucerne. The old town is lovely, and the two bridges are definitely worthy of a visit. Both boys loved running the entire length of them, happy to miss the 600 year old provenance!
The highlight was Mount Pilatus. With weather at the bottom being pretty grey and gloomy, we did wonder whether we'd get any view at all if we went up the mountain. A boat across the lake, followed by a cog train that travelled up the mountain at a very steep 47%, left the boys in ecstasy. Luckily the fellow passengers appreciated seeing the boys whoop and yelp with excitement. As we went higher, we went above cloud level and were treated to some fantastic views of the Alps as we looked south. A cable car down and a stop off at the Rodelbahn (summer toboggan run) gave the boys their fill of transport methods for one day. Once at the bottom of the mountain though, they were still thrilled with a trolley-bus journey back to the centre of Lucerne, before heading back to Bad Zurzach.
