I love Lucerne. Absolutely love it. This city is by far one of my favorite places from the trip. It's a beautiful city and all around Lucerne are little villages scattered along the lakes edge. I have never wanted to pack up and move somewhere so badly before. I could definitely live in a little cottage on the lake and look out at the gorgeous blue water all day.
Memorable Moments in Lucerne
-Walking to the hostel in a thunder storm, in my shorts with my cardigan draped over my head. I looked awesome
- Cable car ride to Mt Rigi
- Having a bird divebomb my face in attempt to eat the sandwich I was enjoying. I guess it could tell how tasty it was
- Talking to the garbage man from Angola and having him tell me he has his teaching degree but he makes more money picking up trash. Right...
- Watching the hills gradually turn into majestic mountains on the train ride from Salzburg
-Watching a huge swan walk right into a restaurant.
-Getting free chocolates when I checked into my hostel because I am 'a true backpacker' and don't make reservations. Glad someone thinks my lack of planning is worth rewarding
- Hug Bakery. Amazing pastries, and cake...I couldn't just get one thing, I mean seriously
- The massive Lion carved into the side of a huge rock. So beautiful
- Looking at old pictures of people exploring the Alps and the equipment they used. Those people were ballsy
- Discovering the most amazing muffins ever at COOP. Divine
- Walking across the bridge by the water tower
- Spending 5 1/2 hours on the lake and having my face practically fried off by the sun
- Enjoying a day of sunshine as I traveled across the lake, watching the mountain formations change
- Almost getting locked in the Glacier Gardens Museum
-Getting on the wrong train from Mt Rigi, and realizing it at the same moment as some other people discovered they had made the same mistake

WOW. Super pretty.
