| Stanserhorn |
| From Florence we journey north, past the great commercial centre of Milan and the Italian Lake District, to the Swiss border. Here, on the St Gotthard route, we enjoy a scenic Alpine drive to Lucerne. Before proceeding to Lucerne, we spent most of the day in Stanserhorn. In Lucerne we had a visit to the emotive Lion Monument. We see the covered Chapel Bridge and the Jesuit Church. We enjoyed the wonderful sight by the lake: the lights reflection in the water and the pretty swans. We also enjoyed shopping in the commercial district. |

| We took the very steep cogwheel railway and took the cable car to the top of the Stanserhorn mountains. |
| The 360 degrees scenic view was fantastic: the ALPS mountains, the lakes around and the foot railways and the picturesque towns around. It was really a great experience! |

| The Lucerne Lake We sat by the lake watching the boats criss-crossing, watching & feeding the lovely swans and enjoying the sight of the fountain and the lights reflections in the water. It is such a lovely place! |
