Switzerland Day 7

Last full day in Switzerland, leaving Lugano on the "Gotthard Panorama Express" heading for Lucerne. I am going to go down and have another great breakfast here at the Continental Parkhotel and then pack for the trip to Lucerne. After breakfast I had a little time to go and explore the Continental Parkhotel grounds a little more. I wish I had a couple more days here where I could just kick back and relax, but it is time to head to the train station. First part of this trip is taking another scenic train from Lugano to Flüelen and transferring to a restore steam paddleboat for the rest of the journey to Lucerne. The steam ship was originally built in 1901 and I believe it was restored in 1998. The ship looks amazing and with the open observation area to watch the engine run was truly fascinating. The ship glided across the turquoise water so peacefully. We made several stops along the way, but I had no worries because the beautiful scenery had my full attention. We finally made it to Lucerne where I exited the boat and made my way directly to the Old Town area of Lucerne so that I could check into Boutique Hotel Weisses Kreuz. I made impromptu plans to meet a friend at restaurant near Berneck for dinner. I had to take a couple trains and a bus to get there and eat and then get back and still get some rest for an early morning flight home from Zurich. My final full day in Europe for this trip sure was a busy day. I was a little disappointed with my hotel's air conditioning, it was warm and the area the hotel is in does not allow them to make the modifications to add air conditioning to the building. They supplied a portable unit that really did not do much because the vent hose needs to blow out the window, but the window opened from the top. More air was leaving the room than what was coming in. Miserable night’s sleep. After only a couple hours of sleep I got up and grabbed my suitcase and headed for the train station again. I believe I was on the first train to Zurich International Airport for my return flight home. Great trip!!!
