Hi all. Janice here with our last blog post. Believe it or not we are leaving for home on Saturday, Nov 17th. We will leave for Germany tomorrow. Here is what we did in the last two days. Tuesday,Nov 13th - When we woke up there were clouds over the mountains but we decided to go to Stans anyway to go up the mountain. We drove to Stans and took the funicular halfway up and then a double decker gondola up to the top of Stanserhorn. The gondola had a spiral staircase in the middle and you could go up to the top and stand in the open air. There was a railing around but no roof. It is the only one of its kind in the world. The views from the top were fantastic. There was a lot of low lying cloud but at the top of the mountain it was nice and sunny and warm. We had a traditional Swiss lunch, basically macaroni and potato with cheese in a fondue pot. It was very good. For the four of us, it cost 95.50 francs (including a small bottle of wine). We drove back to the rental and later Ed and Sharon went to the hotel so Ed could go in the sauna and Sharon rode the bike. They were going to pick up pizza at a restaurant and bring it back for dinner but it was closed so they picked up some frozen pizza at the grocery store. Wednesday, Nov 14th - We woke up to clouds on the mountains again but decided to go to Mt Pilatus anyway. We drove down to the boat, took the boat to Lurcerne, got a bus to Kriens. We took a small gondola halfway up the mountain, then we took a much larger gondola to the very top of Mt. Platus. There were two hotels up at the top. Beautiful views. We took the world's steepest cogwheel railway down the mountain to the very bottom and then a regular train back to Lucerne. We had dinner in Lucerne, did some window shopping and took the train to Brunnen and then the boat back to Seelisberg. The whole day didn't cost us anything as we had bought a Tell Pass the week before and that gave us 2 free days of travel on boats, trains and buses and half price on 3 other days. The pass certainly was a good buy, it paid for itself and more. Well I hope you have enjoyed our adventures in Europe and we well see you soon. We have seen a lot, been to several countries but we wouldn't want to live anywhere else but Canada. Bye for now. GO LIONS GO!!!!!!!
