Drawings in the famous old bridge in Luzern.





Me and J on the old bridge.






Cheese Fondue, it did taste a little weird though, cheese and wine in it = bitter cheese, can't take it, haha, but at LEAST i tried, lol.





Enjoying a very nice smoked trout, at an al fresco restaurant.



All was well to Frankfurt airport until I saw the gigantic huge long queue at the airport. We reached there at 7 and the flight was at 830, we thought we had enough time considering it was a like a domestic inter-europe flight but we were wrong. We spent 10 mins to find where we were to queue and the rest of the time queuing up. The thing was, we were nowhere near the check-in counters even at 740. W + J went to try the quick check-in machines (which looks like atm machines) while I was in the queue. At 750, 30 mins before flight check-in time closes, W + J got themselves checked in and I was stranded. Well, I sorta got that certain shitty feeling of missing a flight, but oh well... After some frantic asking around, I got to change my tix while W + J made a mad rush for the gate. I must say the route there wasn't short after trying it for myself during the walk for my next flight. That took me an hour walking through EVERYTHING WITHOUT STOP, including dropping my baggage off provided that I used the quick check-in machines. I don't know if i'm lucky but I made it to the aircraft (bus shuttle) like just before the flight take-off time. Well, on the plane I made a new friend though. Her name is Julia, an english teacher in the late 30s from England teaching in Germany, Karlsruhe. She made a made rush for the gate as well, lol, what lousy system in Frankfurt airport I must say. She intro-ed me to study in Karlsruhe and well... helped me take a few photos out of the plane just before landing. Ok, now here's the best part, I landed and waited for my luggage which didn't come. OH Great. Now I have to make a report for a missing luggage, what a JOKE. There's always a first time for EVERYTHING. LOL. The whole day I was making calls with my debit card to check the status of my baggage. Survived the day without my clothes and stuff... oh well.. no comments about that. Made me get another T-shirt, well.. not a bad one, I'm quite happy with that buy. I was actually prepared for a gone baggage but it actually came back, on the night of the second day in Switz.

On the first day in Switz, we were actually spending our time walking around in Zurich for awhile while waiting for our hotel check-in time and after going to Luzern to drop our stuff, we walked the old streets in Luzern. Its really a nice place, very quiet in the old streets, no cars are allowed inside as well. The whole of the day we were just walking around and taking pictures. In the night we were walking along the banks of Lake Luzern, its quiet as well... I would say its very romantic sitting along the benches by the river bank.
