I continued my way north to Lucerne and then Zurich. These are beautiful cities, prettier than most other cities, but I could hardly feel excited. Not sure whether it's because of the been-there-seen-that symptom, the fact that I started to get tired after 20 days no the road, or the prospect of much more exotic and exciting Icelandic nature waiting ahead.
Lucerne
There are some attractions that every tourist goes to, such as the Lion Monument, the Chapel Bridge and Jesuitenkirche at the end of it, and the old town. Go visit them and you can check off Lucerne. I enjoyed climbing some of the Nine Towers and walking the old city wall, because there was a huge rainbow on a sunny day! Be prepared though, some of the tower top smells like pee...
Since Lucerne Festival was on, I really wanted to go to a symphony concert by West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, at the KKL concert hall. But I didn't plan ahead and all thentickets were sold out :(
Zurich Lake
I only stayed one night in Zurich, and it was raining most of the time. Suprisingly luckily, the wearher had been good during the past several weeks, so no complains. For the time it want raining, I sat by Zurich Lake and read. Zurich Lake is therefore the only thing I can comment on and it is very lovely.
On the train to Zurich Airport, I suddenly realized this would be my last train ride in a long time.
