Switzerland Visit Day 7: Lucerne, Lion + Mirrors + Final Day

Last day in Lucerne. Woke up and had another good Swiss breakfast. Had 2 nutella-filled donuts this time. In heaven they will serve those.

Just up the road from our hotel there was this lion statue that is like the logo for Lucerne. Some war happened and this lion sketched in this wall of rock symbolized it in some way that I now forget. The lion was gigantic and had a spear in the side, and tears flowing from his eyes. It was majestic because I think both lions and horses are majestic.

Next to the lion there was a glacier museum which was pretty sweet. Back in the day Lucerne was covered by glaciers, so the museum contained remnants of these glaciers. Pretty amazing. They had these glacier potholes which were gigantic. There were also these super ancient artifacts. The common tool known as the "knife" has been around for a long, long time.

Towards the end of the museum, there was this room of mirrors. It was a maze that you had to go through. You have to walk 1 mph with your arms stretched out and if you're lucky you don't walk into 10 mirrors, and then get nauseous. They should have called it a "slice of hell."

After the museum we took the train that goes a million mph back to Gland. Trip to Lucerne = Success.
