Flag of Switzerland Lucerne, Lucerne, Switzerland
Thursday, October 1, 2009

We hit the road, headed south, through Austria and Lichtenstein to get to our next stop: Lucerne Switzerland. We're quickly learning the rules of the road, what the street signs mean and when to make a pit stop. The "break-in" period for the new BMW is currently "broken in" with the infamous sign on the autobahn that says to the drivers, "no speed limit" meant John went as fast as he wanted to without "breaking it" in... 130 mph in the first 50 miles... thus far...! lots of fun.. no speeding tickets.

Switzerland is exactly what you see in the movies, the cows have bells on their collars, the ever-so green hillsides are spattered with tiny swiss challets and large old castles. The Alps are enormous, rugged, and tower over these tiny towns along the way.
