Day Trip to Luzerne

A few weeks ago we felt very proud of ourselves for taking a spontaneous day trip to Luzerne.  It's a 2.5 hour train ride and more often than not that can feel quite daunting.  However, a fellow colleague happened to have 2 transport passes for just 35CH each so that we could go anywhere in Switzerland on any mode of transport for the entire day.  We decided it was as good a time as any to give it a whirl, especially at such a great price, and off we went!

Despite 5 hours total on the train, we felt it was a lovely day.  The weather was perfect and we had a good 4 hours or so in Luzerne itself.  We wandered around the old town, checking out the farmers market, stopping for a very special lunch at Hotel Balance while Liam napped in his stroller, and made sure to pick up a brezel or two before a visit to Starbucks.  We felt rested, happy to be out and about and quite separated from our normal routine in Lugano.  It was lovely!  And best part yet is that it didn't involve any compromising of Liam's schedule.  We left around 8am and were back by 6pm so it was business as usual with him in bed by 6:30pm.

Here's a funny picture of him just waking up from his nap.  For some reason the second upper tooth has been taking forever to come in and the one in already just keeps getting longer, so here he is with a real of a  chicklet grin.

Here's Liam being attacked by one of the swans on the lake!
