Rainy Day–Lucerne
We woke up to rain. No big deal. We had our in-room coffee and some fruit and yogurt we’d bought and decided to go over to the art gallery in the KKL, a big modern conference center next to the … Continue reading →
Lucerne
We made coffee in the room in a single cup Nespresso machine with little pods. It was surprisingly decent. Restaurant prices here are outrageous. A buffet breakfast in this hotel costs 30 CHF which is about $35–each! The day looked … Continue reading →
