A view down a main street in Lucerne, with tram tracks running down it, old buildings on the right side, and trees beside a river on the left.

A photo from the end of the pews in a very ornate church, looking towards the altar. The church is painted white inside and has gold and pink stone highlights.

Today we walked around Lucerne some more, and went inside a ridiculous church (one of several, though I only took a photo on my phone of this one).

A side view of an old passenger jet aeroplane, with a DC-3 visible behind it.

Today we relocated base to Lucern! Unfortunately the AirBnB we’re staying at is significantly shittier in terms of kitchen equipment, lacking in basic things. On the bright side we visited the Swiss Transport Museum which was very cool.

A photo of a bar, the walls look like they're made of spines and curve up and over. Two very high-backed chairs are in front of the bar and they also look like they're made from interlocking bones.

We also visited the H. R. Geiger museum (in which you're not allowed to take photos which made me sad but was nonetheless fucking cool), and neighbouring bar.

A photo of a rectangular white ceramic dish that appears to contain almost nothing but melted cheese. On top is a pickle, a slice of tomato, and a fried egg.

We also had THE FANCIEST grilled cheese on toast I've ever seen. (Yes, the bread is under all that cheese, as is a bunch of ham as well, and the bread was clearly fried in a pan). It was goddamned DELICIOUS.

A photo looking up at a towering castle wall, with the round corner tower on the left side.

Today we went to Gruyères and saw a 13th century castle, Chateau de Gruyères! It was very impressive, and had been added onto and modified all the way into the early 20th century.

A view of a Swiss village on the hillside with very large craggy mountains in the background.

A photo of a cast-iron dish with the bottom covered in yellow raclette cheese, with potatoes, cocktail onions, and pickles on top.

A view looking over a snow-covered set of houses with MASSIVE snow-covered mountains with their peaks covered by cloud in the background.

Today we went to Lauterbrunnen and Mürren and saw EPIC mountains, then had a giant wad of raclette cheese for lunch!

A screenshot from iOS's Health app showing 16,036 steps, 9.9km walked, and 19 floors climbed.

Today's efforts.

A photo of a can of drink called "Cannabis Iced Tea".

Well, that's a thing you can get here apparently. Though I looked at the ingredients and it says "Hemp extract 0.1g/L" so I really doubt it's going to having much of an effect. :P

A view looking out over the roofs lots of medieval houses.

This morning we went to Murten and stood on the top of a wall that used to surround the city in the 1500s!

A photo of a large train approaching the station, towering over us.

Man some of the trains are LARGE here. They're double-deckers but even taller than Sydney's ones.
