June 24  We had to be up and have our bags in the lobby by 7:15.  At 8:30 we loaded onto the coach  for our short trip to the train station.  We now have a group of 31 people and take over about a whole car.  The trip today is only 45 minutes to Luzerne.  We walked to our hotel, the Ibis Styles with their tiny rooms, and left some of our carry on luggage.  Then onto a short walking tour before our boat ride.

We won't get into our rooms until 2:00 so we went on a cruise on Lake Luzerne

and then to lunch for some pizza. In our walk around the town we found a lot going on in the streets since there is some kind of Lucerne festival going on.  The streets will be rocking tonight with the early start they have all had.

 
We then went and checked into our hotel.  Dianne went out to do some more power shopping and I decided to stay here and catch up on our blog.  However, our suit cases have not have not caught up with us yet and I have no cords to take the pics off the cameras.  I guess I wait to finish these.  Our bags finally arrived so I can finish this up for today.  This evening we will be going to a traditional Swiss dinner and a show.  That means fondue and Rossti.
