End of Switzerland Trip

This is the end of our Switzerland trip. We had a great time and would never hesitate to visit there again. What a great country!

     This final post for this trip will be sort of an odds-and-ends post. I will just point out a few things that I missed along the way.

     The first will be a church in Lucerne. I haven't posted very many church photos, probably because we visited so darn many. It seemed like every town, even the small villages, had many churches. Most were quite nice and some way above that but as I said, there were so many that we visited, I can't go back and remember them. Below is the Jesuit Church in Old Town Lucerne on the banks of the Reuss River.

     I also haven't posted many restaurant photos, but we also visited many very nice restaurants. I think I was just so impressed with the scenery in Switzerland that I didn't focus on churches and restaurants. The restaurant below was in Bern.

     I have posted quite a bit abour our various hikes, particularly the ones at high altitude in rugged mountains. But like you will see below, in Zermatt, we had opportunities to recover from our hiking. And just outside the spa was a nice waterfall.

     I mentioned that four languages are spoken in Switzerland. While that might sound like a problem, it wasn't at all. But at the same time, I wouldn't want anyone to think that we were never confused by the languages. Below was a restaurant in Lucerne. Huh?!?

Of course, we had to check it out. Who wouldn't need to get to the bottom of this story? It turned out to be a place that sells day-old pastries and other unsold foods. Who knew, and why the name?

     In bringing this blog to a close, here we are at Furkapass, on the road to James Bond Street, Andermatt, and the Glacial Express train.

     So that's it from Switzerland. I hope you enjoyed the trip. This was a sunset in Bern.
