Day 167- 169 Lucerne + Mt.Pilatus (Switzerland)

Day 01

Departed for Switzerland early in the morning, almost missed our train.




Reached Zurich city (Northern Switzerland) at 1300hrs

Largest city in Switzerland and main commercial and cultural centre. According to several surveys from 2006 to 2008, Zürich was named the city with the "best quality of life" in the world.

Our first meal at Zurich…



After being Americanized after lunch, took another 1.5hr ride by rail towards Lucerne (City south of Zurich)




Finally…. After many hours





The first thing that Joshua Chong did upon arrival at the Hotel..
Taking pictures of himself… which was kind of amusing when there were
3 pairs of hands to help him with the job..



Soon, I got roped into modeling for him as well..



Chapel bridge- The icon of Lucerne



Hailer’s attempt in hunting for dinner
Lorong Halus roast goose meat


Ignore the person in the fore-ground, enjoy the Alps mountains behind




Swiss dinner


And the day ended with Hailer Chong bringing me into a Casino
My first time into one!




And Hailer Chong won 20 Euros! Pro star man

Day 02

Waking up by the river


The weather was cold, and we’re heading up Mount Pilatus in the early afternoon.
Meng Kiat was well prepared

Back to our primary school days…

After lunch syndrome after a good dessert


Here we come Mount Pilatus!



At the foot of the Mountain


Up the tram


My Love for Geography





Up the mounts!

There was nothing much to do on the mountain. The weather was pretty bad on the 7000 feet crust, cold… moist.. and the clouds covered the view of the city below.
All we could see was a white screen

But a good dinner cheered us up nevertheless



Orhh… the teddy must be tired
