Lucerne

It's Easter Sunday, and I have not yet risen from the dead. I'm still getting over my cold. I had breakfast at 10:30 then did some reading until about 1PM. Then, I decided to go to Lucerne with the half day I had left and was glad I did, not only because it saved me from wasting a day, but also because Lucerne is very pretty. It's smaller and quieter than Zurich and has an older feel with its wooden bridges and city wall. I took the walk in my Lonely Planet guidebook, and it was perfect. I took it easy and still saw the whole town. In the evening, I had dinner and coffee at Hotel des Alpes restaurant right on the river near Kappelbrucke. After that, it was back to the Kindli in Zurich for a hot tea and a hot shower.
