As we left St. Moritz in the morning, a mist covered the lake.

This morning we boarded another famous Swiss train, the Glacier Express

Beautiful scenery once again

After we left the train, we boarded the bus for a short trip to the small country of Liechtenstein.

We had lunch in the capital of Vaduz and walked around a bit.

The country has a population of about 40,000.

2019 is the country’s 300th anniversary.

Monument to Josef Rheinberger, a famous organist and composer

Saint John Paul II visited the Vaduz Cathedral in 1985.

Built in 1874, it was not designated a cathedral until 1997.

Back on the road again, we were on our way to Lucerne.

Lake Zurich is in the distance.

Now in Lucerne, we spotted this chocolate shop while taking our initial walk.

Lake Lucerne in the Old Town

The famous wooden Chapel Bridge dating from the 17th century; much of the bridge was destroyed by fire in 1993 but it was quickly rebuilt.

St. Peter’s Chapel at the far end of the bridge

Lucerne’s Town Hall, dating from the early 1600s

The Lucerne Jesuit Church, dating from 1677

We attended Mass here two days later.

The Saturday morning market in the Old Town

Another foot bridge across the lake

The Chateau Gutsch, built in the 19th century, is now owned by a Russian businessman who turned it into a luxury hotel/restaurant.

A Saturday wedding party on the bridge near the train station

Lucerne’s train station is underground beneath this arch; we took a train from here to Zurich the next day.

Before Saturday’s farewell dinner with the tour group, we took a train and a cable car to a lookout venue high above Lucerne.

Up we go…

Quite a view from up here

A few marmots at the top-a cross between a squirrel and a groundhog

Heidi was not in residence on this day.

The view from the Stanserhorn summit—about 6,000 feet above sea level

Trying out the sun chairs at the top.

Some of the passengers preferred the open air deck of the cable car; the more timid were in the cabin below.

Inside the cabin

Some prefer to hike up the mountain rather than use the cable car.

Cows were grazing below.

Frtiz, our conductor—he said he’s “retired” and doesn’t work during the winter months.

Some of the tour group on the little train after the cable car journey concluded

At the end of the train ride, we spotted a few bunnies in the bushes.
