Planes, trains and automobiles

It was raining, not a good day to go to a mountain top, so we went to Lucerne for the day because we wanted to see the Swiss Transport Museum. It's less than hour by train from Zurich. Lucerne has an old town area and town walls but we didn't see much of it because of the rain and time constraints. It has a covered wooden bridge with paintings on internal roof sections (most of the bridge was burnt in a fire a few years ago so some parts aren't exactly old) and there is a big lake as well. Lucerne would be on my list of places to go back and have a good look at.

You have to allow lots of time or a visit to the Transport Museum because there are so many hands-on activities, models and information boards about railways, air transport, boats, ferries, cable cars, hang-gliding, communications, bicycles, helicopters, space travel. Because it was a Sunday there were lots of families there and the children were loving it all. They made free use of bicycles and scooters available to get around quickly or to just play in the large open central area.

I'm not sure why I agreed to go with Glenn on the Flight Simulator but I have to admit it was fun, even though he rolled us upside down. At least we didn't crash like Phil and Sarah did.
