10.08.07 Luzern, a most good-looking town. The river Reus and a unique wooden roofed bridge with pictures, painted on triangle planks under the roof. They are genuine pictures of historical scenes. It was constructed and painted in the XY111-th century. There are many old houses, a lot of painted ones. This time we could use a most attractive side of our general ticket: an hour trip on a boat on Luzern lake. The team of the boat consists of a captain and a young girl, performing all the services on the boat.
11.08.07 It was Saturday. Misha took us to a walk in the forest. We met a lot of people, some of them jogging. All of them greeted us with a cheer “Grutzy”. The forest is very clean, it is constantly renewed: the old trees are cut out and there are many new plantings, carefully barred, the wood-processing is popular here. We also saw workmen in the wood.
12.08.07 It is the last day. We feel a slight enxiety before leaving. Julia offers to make a trip to Losanne and Lugano, three hours way there and as much back, this end of the country we didn’t see. But Rachel and I are against it, and on the recommendation of Rachel, who is responsible for another guide-book, we go not far off to Zug and Swits. The first is more interesting, there was a Christian celebration, there were tables and benches in the square, food and drinks were sold. It is on the bank of lake Zug, there are boats as well. The second town Switz , the name of the canton, it gave its name to the country.
