Today we woke up at 6:00 ? in the morning. We went to The Ingram Family room and had our Advent chocolate ? for the day. Then we went downstairs to look for some breakfast ? to eat. While we were looking for some breakfast ?we saw some skulls and we walked over a bridge that had a story about the history of Switzerland ??. We eventually found a cafe that is called cafe Mill’Feuille which means vanilla slice. I had waffles with wild berries for breakfast . Then we went to the market stalls for some fruit . Then we went to the train station and got some bread ? rolls and saw some children singing some songs in lots of different languages including English!! Next we went to the electric bus station and got on a ? bus to Krien. Then we got on another bus ? to The Lucerne Pilates stop and walked to the Gondola station; a Gondola is like a chairlift. We got on a Gondola and took some pictures of the view.
We saw lots of snow. We also saw some people tobogganing and skiing ⛷. The trees ? looked like they had been dusted with icing sugar. As we went up in the gondola we could see some animal tracks in the snow below. We saw a dog smell some yellow snow ❄️ and then wee on it. I said “Don’t eat the yellow snow! Little dog!?” We arrived at the second station and then we rode on the Dragon Ride up to the very top. It was really cold outside, there was snow everywhere and the sun was really bright. On the top of the clouds below us there were lots of rainbow ? colours.
It was too cold for me so I went inside the building with Mummy. We found some seats to sit and have lunch on. We all shared some paninis for lunch, but Mummy got the chicken and ham ones mixed up! After lunch we went for a walk along the Dragon Trail to look at the scenery. There are lots of references to Dragons ? here because people believed that there was a dragon with healing powers that lived in the cracks of the mountain. Out the peephole windows on the Dragon Trail we saw a little church ⛪ but we are not sure how you would get to the church. Maybe you can only go there in summer.
We needed something to warm us up so we went to a cafeteria and had something to eat and drink. After that we caught the Dragon Ride backdown and then hopped on the gondolas to go to the very bottom. Suddenly the gondolas stopped and I was worried that it had broken down and we would be stuck there all night! Soon we were moving again and back down at the bottom. While we were walking to catch the bus we had a quick snowball fight. When we arrived back in Lucerne we had dinner out at an Indian place ?. Then we went to the chocolate ? shop and got some yummy chocolate biscuits for dessert. Then we walked back to our room and went to bed.
