switzerland 19th & 20th march - LUCERNE
flew off to switzerland in the afternoon on the 19th..ruben text-ed to tell me he was cooking that night but i couldn't go! =( anyways i reached zurich airport at 7pm and lea picked me up from the airport. took the train to her parents' place in lucerne and had spaghetti for dinner and went to sleep cos we need to wake up early the next day.
woke up bright and early and the weather seemed pretty good on the onset..so off we went to explore one of the most beautiful cities in switzerland with the prettiest lake ever.

so that's where my tour of lucerne ended..lea's parents fetched us to eat at a thai restaurant. the food was really good. but the day was so cold cos the wind was soooooooooooo strong. filled out the postcards and went to sleep.
next destination: geneva. the french speaking part.
