Lucerne, Switzerland


"Yodl - Ay - EEE - Ooooo", Welcome to the Swiss Alps!!!!!! In reality no one was yodeling or dressed like these guys to your right. I was sooo disappointed!!! Lucerne was actually a very cute, safe, clean (now that I live in meticulously clean Japan every piece of trash on the ground is disturbing) and beautiful town. There where however thousands of watch and chocolate stores all over town. So we did the "tourist thing" and bought a watch for me (very cute by the way) and loads of chocolate which Orlando and I brought back to work (the ones that survived that is).
Everywhere you looked it seamed like a picture from a fairytale complete with a prince. I have proof look at the picture below:

Here he is again:

Here I am in front of the most famous sight in Lucerne, is the Chapel Bridge, a 204 m (670 ft) long wooden bridge originally built in1333 and it's still used every day!!!

It was 28th Orlando's B-day!!! That morning everybody sang Happy Birthday in the bus as best as they could considering the late night most people had from the Florence night club. This picture is from dinner that night.



We went to a cool bar next to the hotel to celebrate. There everyone got confused between Euros and Swiss Franks but nothing can stop a bunch of kids trying to get some beer!!! We found 2 of the most entertaining objects of the entire trip at the bar. The first was this very explicit flyer advertising "Frigay Nights" at a local club, which you can see to your right. All I have to say is that thank God that January 3, 2007 was a Wednesday!!!
The second interesting object was this David (like in David and Goliath) Energy Drink to your left. Who thinks of this stuff??? I guess only the Europeans!!!
