Europe Trip - Zurich

Day 7: Woke up and had our breakfast provided by the hotel.Then we checked our of hotel and made our way to the Shihlquai bus terminal for Mount Titlies Day Tour. Boarded the coach bus and we went to Lucerne.Went to the Lion Monument first,it was a monument in a shape of a lion.It was to remember the swiss soldiers who died during French Revolution.Then we stopped near the chapel bridge and we got some free time on our own.So we went to a chapel and have a short tour inside.The ceilings were painted with beautiful paintings,much same to those in Paris.Then walked around the town,bought a hotdog bread and salad for lunch.Then we went up to the bottom of mount titlis,took 3 cable cars to go up the summit which is 3020 metres high up.The last cable car is a resolving car inside,called Titlis Rotair.Then we got our own free time in outside the summit.There is a small playground at some part of the mountain but need to take the ice flyer ride down.But didn't take the ride cos it was a open air cable car.

Then had a grilled fish and soup set for tea break,hehehee.It was quite nice to eat.Then we found a ice cave,and we went inside the cave.You can even set the music/sound while u walk around the cave.After that,we just waited for the tour guide to go down the mountain.Then we took the cable cars back down and waited for our coach bus to bring us back to Zurich.

Back in Zurich,went back to the hotel and collected our luggage.Went to a nearby cafe and ate dinner there.Stayed until it is time to go Zurich HB train station,then we took the train to head for Munich,Germany.We had to transfer at Salzburg train station to reach to Munich.The train was packed with people when we boarded.Most of the people were using 3 seats to make a bed for themselves.Luckily we managed to got seats.It was so cramped,6 people was inside a 'room' and there was no space for you to sleep.And so half-sleeping and half-awake,we reached Munich on the next morning.

1. Lion Monument
2. Chapel Bridge
