Ah Switzerland in summer! A land of lush green hills, beautiful turquoise lakes, snow covered Alps, umpteen waterfalls, melting glaciers, cute looking villages, cows with bells, chocolates, mountain trains, cable cars, gondolas and picture-perfect postcard scenery all around.

Thank you for your pictures they helped me with my piano playing and deeper understanding of this piece. http://www.1stpiano.com/beethoven-moonlight-sonata/ (THAT WEBSITE IS WHERE YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE PIECE THERE IF YOU WISH)

Beautiful photos!
Such a lovely blog and beautiful photos. I have just written a blog about Lucerne, except mine was a travel story from the past (1993) and I couldn't do justice to the memory or the place. You have managed to do that for me, so thank you! We also didn't have the opportunity to see as much as what you could, unfortunately as we only spent about 2 days there. Looking forward to reading more of your blogs.

Thanks Alma
From what I remember I was in Lucerne for only 3 days. A week would have been better. Plenty to see and experience around the area.
