It is now back on the bus headed over the Switzerland borders. We arrive in the after to Liechtenstein and get a free time here. We take pics of the royal families palace that is on the top of the hill.

Chapel Bridge, which is the oldest bridge in Europe built in 1333

Then a few more hours on and we arrive at Lucerne Switzerland.

Earl takes us over to the lion monument. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution.

We head to our hotel, which is right in the city. We all get checked in at get ready for a night into town.

We meet Rebecca and Jennifer at reception for a mission to find a Thai restaurant. The hotel tells us that there is one but they failed to tell us the price per dish. We arrive at this lavish Thai restaurant only to find it would cost us 45 for a dish of curry so we quickly moved on and on search for a cheaper alternative.

We head back to the hotel and ask reception if they could give us an alternative take away. We find it after 1hr of searching to find would not accept either credit card or euro only Swiss francs. We now going on a search of bank and decided to get money exchanged at the hotel instead.

The story has a happy ending, and we finally get the money and head back for a great feed and well worth all the fuss.

We take a stroll through the streets of Lucerne and stumble across the restaurant where a few of the group were participating in the dinner excursion tonight.

We spent the evening strolling through the streets and stopping at the Chapel Bridge, which is the oldest bridge in Europe built in 1333. It was destroyed in 1993 and rebuilt again and is a main attraction in Switzerland. Our hotel is less then 5 min from the Bridge so after taking a few photos, we decide to call it a night and head back to the hotel.
