Day 8: 11/12/08

This morning, we drove to the beautiful town of Engelberg for a series of cable cars to Mount Titlis for a panoramic view at 10,000 ft above sea level.. we took a total of 3 diff types of cable car to reach the peak.. of which the Titlis Rotair is the world's first revolving cable car (takes up all the way to the summit of Mt Titlis, where a breathtaking panoramic mountainscape awaits us...





Upon arriving at the summit, we stroll to the Glacier Park Ice Flyer... its so windy.. the cold wind slapped right onto our face.. its -10 degrees... but the unique glacier paradise experience was cool.. we enjoyed ourselves in the midst the the snow... its oso kind of misty and foggy.. so we cant really see far..

Next, we went to the photostudio.. took a photo outside.. we had moment pick ice cream.. u muz be thinking we are mad right.. eating ice cream (again) during winter when the outside temp is -10 degree.. wahaha.. went to the ice palace after tt.. was disappointing.. nothing to see... while taking the 3 diff types of cable car down, i took more photos...


After lunch, we continue on to Switzerland's largest city, Lucerne.. we visited the lion monument.. this is to commemorate the bravery of the Swiss guards during French Revolution. If you look carefully, you will see that the lion's expression is very sad and solemn and there is a broken spear protuding out of its stomach... they did a great job in cafting out the lion monument from the limestone cliff...




Next, we visited the 14th Century wooden chapel bridge which depicts the local history.

In the evening, we have an hr or so to shop round.. we went to Bucherer and walked around to get some chocolates...
