Lovely Lucerne

Walter had heard that the best transport museum in Europe is in Lucerne, so we decided to take a wee trip on what was supposed to be one of the warmer and sunnier days this winter. Lucerne is about a 2 hour train ride from Saint Blaise, with a short bus ride to the museum. It's recognised as one of the most beautiful, quintessentially Swiss towns. It's home of the covered, Chapel bridge, built in the 14th century, and partially burned down in 1993.

The Water Tower on the Chapel Bridge

Wee boys enjoy the entrance to the bridge.

Looking back on the bridge.
The boys on the rebuilt portion of the bridge. People were giving out the blue booties at the entrance, I suppose to preserve the floor a bit.

The Transport Museum.

First stop the trains.... the many many trains!
Next stop, the buses with funny stuff written on them. Hahahaha.

Climbing our way to the next mode of transport.

Boys below the Corvair Coronado. The insides were preserved in all their 1960s glory.

Hey Uncle Jamie! Two little pilots in the making. Well, 2 boys playing at dive bombing.

Spaceman! All done in Scotch tape.

The museum is also home to a huge aerial map of Switzerland. We found Neuchatel and Saint Blaise.

We had a faboo time, but the wee boys didn't have enough energy to do the town properly too. next time!
