We all had a great nights sleep after the long day yesterday travelling. We wake to cloudy and overcast skies. Rain is forecast in the afternoon and a top temp of 16 is expected. We have a lovely breakfast in the hotel and then head out. Our first stop is the Chapel bridge a wooden covered bridge built in the14th century. The sides of the bridge are covered in flowers, it is a beautiful sight. The lake is awesome. We head across and move on to find the Lion monument. The dying lion is carved out of rock and commemorates the heroism of Swiss soldiers who died protecting the Tulleries palace in Paris during the French Revolution. It is very moving!
We then head on to the city wall which forms part of the city’s fortifications, apart from
Karen and Kaye we climb the steps and walk along the top of the wall. There are some fantastic views over the city and lake. After that we come to the oldest wooden bridge in Switzerland. Built in 1408. It is then time for a rest. We grab some lunch and rest up. In the afternoon we check out the railway station, do some shopping and we agree to meet up again at 4 for beer o’clock.
