On to Luzern!

We were up bright an early once again..but we were to the first to breakfat today..ok we were 2nd..Nice bfst.. Then on the road once agin. We headed to the Car ferry over Lake Konstanz to the Town of Konstance and then drove to Luzern..the gps in the car was not as cooperative today..we missed about 3 differnt exits on the highway and our turn in town..but finally ended up at the Renaissance in Luzern! We headed right ot the visitor center to get our golden Ticket for the Mount Pilatus tour. We took a 90 minute boat ride on the lake..in about 100 degrees...of course there is a heat wave in europe right now...we really need to rethink the time of year we do these type of vacations...We forgot to put sunscreen on so were trying our best to not get burnt...after 90 minutes we come to the cog wheel train..the steepest one in the world! They thought there were two seats for us but since there were not they put us in the conductor cabin on the back of the train..great views on the way up the mountain..It is about a 30 minute ride to the top of the mountain and absolutley amazing!! At the top there were different performances going on and we did a quick 10 minute hike to a top look out point...It was a little hazy but not enougth to dappen the beautiful view of the alps and the lake! We had lunch wandered around little more and came across a guy getting ready to jump off the mountain! He had a parachute type contraption and got all set and just ran off the mountian and flew around for a while. Very Cool!! We headed back down on the Cable car which was REALLY high and quite scary for me! I could not even look out the front window...We had to take a cable car that held about 25 people and then a gondola on our own...The gondola was not as bad.. Then to the bus and back to town.. Once again time for a nap! We love our vacation naps! We headed out for dinner and there was a huge music festival goign on and the crowds were insane!! We tried to find a place for dinner and ended up back a the hotel in their mexican cantina...not bad but not great...we talked to a girl sitting next to us who is coming to Phila in a few week and DC, NYC and AC! Small world! We had a few more cocktais at the bar next to the restaurant and headed to bed..which was right above the nighclub and the AC did not seem to work very well...I guess the Friends and family rate is who you put in this room on a sold out Saturday night.. Until Tomorrow!
