We travelled out of Germany this morning. I didn’t get a picture of the speed limit signs for tanks. At the Swiss border we had to stop for some time. Nothing untoward happened but there were very cute Swiss border guards.
In Lucerne we were given a tour of a monument to Swiss soldiers who died in the French revolution. Then souvenir shopping.
I could have gotten a Swiss army knife for a good deal but I couldn’t justify it. I already got one 20 years ago and I barely use it. Free engraving is nice, but then it is just an expensive souvenir and/or gift. Or USB drive.
If I really wanted pricey, they we’re giving a discount on watches. But I’m a digital person and wouldn’t use it.
I still feel I should have gotten them. But I’m glad I didn’t. I’m still wondering why I got a beer stein.
Instead I got chocolate (although I got a Toblerone earlier that nearly put me to sleep), a t-shirt (I’m running low on clean ones) and a few other knick-knacks.
I wandered through Lucerne and saw the church bridge. Then there was a cruise across the lake. Nice views from there, but they would have been spectacular if it wasn’t cloudy.
