A Week In Switzerland, September 1-7, 2017

As apart of our anniversary celebration, we went to Europe for three weeks in September.  The first week we spent on our own touring Switzerland, as we had never been there before.  Our tour consisted of three days in Geneva, three days in Lucerne, and a final day in Basel before joining a Tauck River Cruise. 

In Geneva we took a side trip to Gruyeres for some chocolate tasting, cheese making, and wine tasting. In Lucerne, we went on a boat ride across Lake Lucerne, a cog rail trip up Mt Platus, and then came down the mountain on a cable car and ski lift gondola.   After the cable car ride, we took time out at mid-mountain to try their toboggan run.  Still kids after all these years.

Here are some of our pictures:
