Day 28 – Luzern


Today we were going to head into Luzern for a little look round. We had not got anything for breakfast so the plan was to find somewhere to have a quick something to eat. We jumped onto the bikes and were in the town in no time. There were so many cyclists and such good cycle lanes it was unbelievable.
Once in the town we found somewhere to park the bikes, which was easier said than done as every spot conceivable was already occupied with a bike. Eventually we did and headed off to find some food. This was not successful either and we did not end up eating breakfast till after 11am, which puts Matt in a bad mood. Once food was in my belly we could think about other things.
Luzern town is very pretty and we enjoyed walking the streets and going to see the old city walls. We managed to find a nice cheese shop and got some for what was meant to be lunch.
After a pretty much full afternoon we decided to head home but not without stopping at a camping shop, as we needed to buy a cable for the van. We left the shop with a lovely Italian coffee maker and a Camping Raclette, (something you melt cheese on) but no cable.
Back at the site we used the Raclette to make a lovely dinner and chilled with a beer. 

Later in the evening we headed back to the town to enjoy some of the night life and have a drink by the river. The riverside bars and cafes were very busy but we found a spot and sat and had a drink. That done we headed home as we were both tired from all the walking and cycling which combined must have been about 20km.
