Ok so we figured it out, apparently it’s busy season for Zurich, Luzern and Bern is just a gov’t town and we all know what that is about. So we got up in the morning, still raining but not as hard as the night before. By the time we had breakfast, the rain had stopped and we were off site seeing. On our way to site seeing, Shawn was in to looking at watches. “Send more money Shawn is into buying watches”. After the purchase, we toured around the beautiful parliament building on our way to the BarenPark (bear park). The cities local mascot is the bear. Bern built a new bear facility in 2009, along the river and it has green areas and water for them to swim in. Although we only saw three bears, it appears there are four. After seeing the sites, it was lunch on the train and a short hour ride into Luzern. Rain gone, sun out it was on to some serious shopping, I mean site seeing. Lol. Luzern with it’s wooden bridges, small streets and monuments is a great place to stroll around. Spend the better part of the day there then it was on the Lauterbrunnen. This is the central affordable place we found to base out of for a couple of days. Although, it is relatively close to everywhere it takes a little longer by train due to the elevation. Lauterbrunnen is at approx 2600 ft and is absolutely beautiful.
