So been meaning to tell about this trip.
My wife and I started in Zurich, we stayed at in old town near the lake in a quaint Sheraton Schloss.
We just kind of took it easy in Zurich to get adjusted with the time. We visited the Gross Muenster. Largest Protestant Church in Switzerland. Ate a great dinner of schnitzel at Zeughauskeller a former armory now beer hall. Outstanding!
After 1 day in Zurich we took the train to Heidelberg, Germany. We stayed at the Marriott which is directly on the Neckar River.
Heidelberg was amazing. I love German culture. Food is amazing. Old town was like stepping into a fairy tale. The Schlos of Heidelberg is a must. Built in 1200. Love how it towers over the river and the city.
After 2 days we hopped back on the train and went back to Switzerland to Lucerne. Lucerne was our favorite part. I went here when I was 15 and remember much of that trip. I'm 40 now so much was new to me as well.
We stayed at the Renaissance. Great location and very nice hotel. Hotel was close to everything so we could walk everywhere.
Shopped in Old Town bought a couple of Cookoo Clocks. And the best part was going to Buchererer. The largest jewelry store in all of Europe. Swiss Made watch galore. My wife got her a Rolex and I got me a Tag Heuer. The prices are not any cheaper.
The Swiss Chocolate is delicious. Beats anything we have hear.
We had our best meal in Lucerne. At the Old Swiss House built in 1860, been owned by the same family since the beginning. Celebrities from all over the world have eaten here including 3 US Presidents. Carter, Nixon and LBJ. Roger Federer is a frequent patron.
The Swiss Alps in Lucerne are just breathtaking views and the lake make for a picturesque moment like from a Christmas movie.
