This is the crepe shop I was talking about; I wanted to go and get another crepe before we left, but we ended up going at, like, 6-ish, and they weren't opened yet. D:

We took the bus to the train station, where we boarded a 4-hour ride to Lucerne.


Lori and I sat opposite Andre and Kayci; for some reason Andre had bought this slab of cheese and all these meats, and he was eating them on the train hahaha. Lori fell asleep and kept snoring during the ride, and Andre kept making fun of her. xD; But yeah, after this, everyone knew about Lori's snoring, hahah. I felt kind of bad for her but meh.


We had agreed beforehand to make a stop to the Alps; we took the cable cars to the top. (:



We had to take a small train thing part of the way, and our conductor was cute! I couldn't get a decent picture of him cuhs ... yeah. But apparently Shanese went and just asked him if she could take a picture of him, so I need to get that from her! Hahah.



Snowball fight; pretty self-explanatory. (x

Everyone bought some Swiss ice afterwards; it really wasn't that cold up there, so it wasn't too unreasonable haha. Mine was strawberry. (:

After we took the train down, we went on a ferry to the mainland, and then boarded our bus to the hotel.


The Hotel Astoria was unbelievably nice, even more so compared to the places we have been staying at up until now. Everyone kept going, like, "Daaaaang ~" hahah.


We loved our bathroom, especially it had shower curtains, which the last hotel lacked. <3
The dining room had some trippy lights. 8D



After dinner, Lance took us around the city.


Apparently this lion monument was a memorial for the soldiers who fought in the French Revolution; Lance said something about how the lion was being killed from behind, and how that was an act of cowardice and so on.

We were walking back to the hotel, and we just passed this really creepy block with all these creepy buildings (see above) lol.

We stopped by this grocery shop place and everyone just pretty much raided the chocolate section. xD
