Switzerland Tour Luzern

Our
Luzern stay was at a nice,cosy, four star property - Hotel
Continental Park.The hotel was a mere 5 minutes walk from the main
Luzern Railway station.The area around the station was surrounded by
all kinds of hotels,shops,cafe etc.These was a pier next to the
railway station which used to operate hourly boat rides on the
river.The water was clean with pretty ducks frolicking in the
river.We decided to take a city tour of Luzern,in a battery operated
vehicle,which has been remodelled as a tram car.The vehicle had rows
of benches,in front of which were listening posts,which enabled the
travellers to listen to commentary about the various highlight of the
trip in 10 different languages,including,surprisingly,Hindi too.Other
languages were English,Spanish,German,French etc.The tram operator
was all in one guy.He sold the tickets,collected cash,checked
travellers,issued headphones,collected them back and also drove the
vehicle.I was reminded of situation back home,where the same job
would be done by 2 to 3 persons.We took our seats on the tram car and
the tour started.For next 1 hour,we travelled to various landmarks
of the city and the commentary in English and Hindi was very
informative and exhaustive.It was an enjoyable trip ,exploring nooks
and corners of Luzern.Getting down from the tramcar,we enjoyed Swiss
icecreams ,which were out of the world.A walk bought us back to our
hotel towards the end of the evening.We called it a day,to recoup our
energy and get ready for the next day.
