07/06/10 - Lucerne - Switzerland

Everyones emotions have been running high and we made a pact to be a little kinder to each other. And how good did it get. We drove higher into the fabulous Swiss Alps where snow was plentiful. we pulled to the side of the road where snow fights immediately followed as did the building of one very sorry excuse for a snowman. The kids used a couple of plastic bags were soon turned into tobogans. A couple of kilometres down the road we stopped to listen to a field of cows clanging their bells. Further along we stopped for lunch with a gorgeous Swiss mountain backdrop. Upon arrival some type of beavers greeted us and quickly became Tillys best friend when she produced an apple. They appeared quite tame and fed from Tillys hand and in fact they were all over her. Drove up mountains to a height of almost 2500 metres and through pea soup clouds. It got a little hairy as the roads are very narrow, steep and sharp with many bends. Then drove to Lucerne where we will stay for the next three days.
