Lovely Lucerne

Well, everyone's getting on  fine at home, all snug and cosy, I am glad to say, and me?  I'm sitting here snug and cosy too and happily thinking about what I was doing exactly this time last year.

I was in Lucerne, Switzerland, and this is the view across the water.  Our hotel, the Wilden Mann, was just to the right, beyond that church.  It was a very comfortable and interesting old hotel and we really enjoyed being in Lucerne, which was beautifully decorated for Christmas. 

Even though I'm only away a very few days,  I probably won't have time to blog till next week as there will be lots of catching up to do even after I am home  this is turning - into a very busy time.  In the meantime, I hope you like the photo of lovely Lucerne.

  3. Ah, a place we both visited, Jenny. :) I think that is the Jesuit Church in the background of your pretty night capture of Lucerne. If it is, it has a tricky step down from inside the church area into the entrance hall. That’s where I had a major fall, acquiring several large colorful bruises and almost broke my camera!

  4. Ooh, a veritable fairland of lights. A lovely little going-away gift for us and a sweet beacon to help you find your way back. Enjoy your catching up!

  5. Hi Jenny! I'll be looking forward to your photos when you return from Bavaria...to little ole me who lives so far away from Europe, it sounds very charming and wonderful to be able to visit there this time of year. We are so new and brash here in the USA...relatively speaking anyway. Enjoy your time, and I'm glad you are here to share all your travel adventures!

  8. Wow, that is a lovely arch by the water! It reminds me of palm trees for some reason. I know how you feel. Just a few days can throw your blog schedule off.

  11. Another temptation. A friend was talking of her visits there recently. I must, I must......

  12. The WV was 'laben' which is, I think, 'refresh' in German. How odd.

  13. That's really quite beautiful. I am so drawn to bright lights and night time shots.

  14. Thank you for this post. I loved Lucerne, except for the weather. It rained for eleven days while I was there. Only yesterday I posted a picture taken there.

  15. Oh joy - somewhere else I simply have to visit (the list gets longer and longer!)

  16. It's lovely. I went there once but I was in charge of 35 teenagers so I can't say I had time to really look around. But I remember the bridge. I'd like to go to the Xmas market there.

  18. We had a marvellous holiday in Lucerne some years ago. Probably our best ever. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

  21. Hi Jenny,
    What a lovely place it is! Are the illuminations Christmas decorations? If we see illuminations at this time of year, we soon associate them with Christmas. In Tokyo I saw a lot of Christmas illuminations and decorations, but also too many people there. Jenny we are fair-weather Christians. I enjoy your posts always!
    Best wishes,
    keiko

  22. No snow in Lucerne???
    Obviously I'm jealous here, but no snow in Lucerne?

  23. You made me feel so good reading your post and looking at the Lucerne photo :)

  24. Good for you, Jenny, you could have time to relax yourself before things would be speeding up. I like the serene and beautiful Lucerne without too brilliant but decent illumination. December is the busiest month. Japanese housewives prepare for the Christmas, secular Christmas, and right after Christmas is over we tackle the New Year, completely two different traditions. Stay warm and have a nice break.

  28. Lovely Lucerne but I hope you'll also have a few tales to tell about your stay in Munich.

  29. Lucerne looks lovely all lit up (how's that for some alliteration?!). I actually don't remember Lucerne. My mum and I briefly stopped there on a trip through Switzerland and Germany back when I was in graduate school. I'm glad you posted this photo.

    Enjoy your trip, then Christmas will be in full swing when you get back.

  30. Gorgeous - what a pretty pic! Despite all my visits to Switzerland (I have a sister-in-law in Basel) I have never made it to Lucerne - one day! Merry Christmas if I don't catch you online again beforehand.

  33. It is a splendid photograph - the lights seem to give the scene a wonderful sense of movement.

  34. I love those lights, so beautiful! Is it just for the holiday or do they have them up all the time?

    Hope you're enjoying the holiday.
