City of Luzern

Since that for 6 months I was there, I have not taken any pictures on the lion monument, we decided to head over to the lion monument after our ice-cream session in Moevenpick.

This is a terribly and absolutely saddest piece of rock :o This dying beast draped over his shield, with a broken spear sticking out of his flank, was hewn out of a cliff face in 1821 to commemorate the 700 Swiss mercenaries killed in Paris in 1792. On August 10 that year, French revolutionaries stormed the royal palace, the Tuileries; in the face of the mob, the Swiss palace guards were ordered to lay down their arms by Louis XVI and were subsequently massacred. This would be a movingly tranquil spot, with its foliage and gently rippling pool in front, were it not for the fact that it’s the single most touristed place in the entire city.

SOurce: Lucerne

This is the school in Luzern ... compared to my school in a place called Maluri ... like heaven and hell o.O

All these are like going up to the clock tower :D

and this is the city of Luzern ;)

As I have been to the water tower and took pix of it, so we did not go, as well as to the Chapel Bridge

Though I have been here in Genf for almost 6 months now, I prefer Luzern anytime anywhere and anyhow. Luzern is the best ... fuer mich :D Luzern oh Luzern ... ich vermisse dich :( wissen Sie? So peaceful, so calm, it's the best
