So i was in Zurich again over the weekend... & what a beautiful weekend it was.
My best friend came from London after a hectic week of work & we had a blast up at Mt Pilatus.
We took the cable car from Kriens... somewhere very near Lucerne...
It was fun figuring out where to go, where to take the bus/train & pigging out on sausages along the way.
On our way up the mountain... snow snow everywhere.
We giggled at the lost boys.... Little did we know that 3 hours later, we would suffer the same fate with the wooden sledges.
At the second stop
View from near the top of Mt Pilatus, 2120m above sea level.
Fooling around in the snow.
Making our way to the top
We brave the strong winds with pants and giggles.
The view is amazing. Unreal.
We decide to take one of the wooden sledges each.. and make our way from the second to the first station for the last cable car down to the foot.
A tad ambitious, seeing that my friend could not even stop her sledge from sliding down.
This was BEFORE we even got on it.
Getting ready.
But alas, we discovered that easy as it seemed, it would take us hours to go down the mountain. A fellow (and more experienced) sledger confirmed this while trying very hard not to laugh at the 2 goofy and panicky girls.
So we ended up running BACK UP the slopes with the sledge to catch the cable car.
aahhh the silly things we get up to.
The next day we took a leisurely stroll to the lake of Zurich where we excitedly planned our next trip & whined about going home.
I miss the sweet smell of freedom.
