I’m going to keep this entry as short as possible. The weekend was spent in Luzern, who some say is the most beautiful city in Switzerland. I would say so too, although Switzerland to me is in general very beautiful and amazing.
On Saturday we went to a glass museum in Hergiswil where we saw how glass was made. Ok it was interesting, but it wasn’t anything amazing, for me anyway. It was right beside the lake though, so we could relax by it and admire the view. A nice boat ride back to Luzern, and a tour of Luzern by Roger. We saw the famous wooden bridge and even walked along part of the old wall and was fortunate enough to be in the bell tower at exactly 6pm 
(minus 1 minute perhaps, because I heard someone say this clock was a little off???)
Anyhow, in the evening we had a lovely barbeque! I ate lots of meat!! After living off mostly bread, cheese and water, it was a welcome change, and there was plenty of it. I was nice and full after that. I think the most interesting or wierd part of the weekend was staying in the “Zivilschutzanlage” – which translates to Shelter for Civil Protection. It is basically a nuclear bunker underground. It was very basic with about 30 beds packed right next to each other and on top of each other, basically shelves with mattresses on it. Toilets were also in another room, and there was a shower room in which there were 4 showers. Just 4 showers, nothing else! It was an interesting experience, although I don’t think I could stay in such place for more than a week!
On Sunday we went up Mount Pilatus (7000ft), by cable car – so my feet are happy this week. Before going up we went on the longest toboggan slide in Switzerland. I think it’s 1350m long, but it goes very fast, as long as you don’t brake! After that we went up to the top, but there wasn’t an awful lot to see since it was very cloudy.
A fun weekend, but I think probably my last IAESTE organised weekend, since from now till I go back home, I need to start saving money. So I’m just going to live off bread and water, unless anyone would like to make some generous donation!
