Lucerne Lapping
A scenic lake,mountains of myth and wooden Kapellbrucke (Chappel bridge) ..Lucerne is picture perfect place. I reached on a rainy chilly day morning. The weather was dull by Swiss standard but I find it beautiful. ( cant help..coming from a state which has three weathers only..Hot, Hotter, Hottest) ..
This town has a flavour of medieval bridges and old squares. Situated on the northern bank of Reuss river ,Lucerne has 15th century buildings and KapellBrucke built in 1333, are most distinct feature of this mostly pedestrian place. The distinct water tower and the famous fire of 1993 are talked about . A beautiful pictorial panel of Dance of death is under roof line.
Bodu is an Institution in Lucerne. The french brasserie has excellent river view and mind blowing Bordeaux wines. The place dishes out exotic Provencal cuisine and piedmont.
I loved walking along the city and the boat tour. Just after I finished boat trip, the hot rolled crepes with cream burlee’ and cinnamon flavour felt heaven sent.
And why not, after all the town has a myth of an angel showed the light to first settlers of town about building chappel and the crepe shop is just next to it.

the bordeaux wines and rolled crepes steal the show this time..though Kapellbrucke has been amazingly captured…almost lost in thoughts about the morning trip..Wat does the author charge for being a guide?
