My mother in law was desperate to celebrate her 85th birthday in her favorite place, the village of Weggis on Lake Lucerne. With my husband and myself as Sherpas, we have been escorting Hanna onto boats, cablecars, cograil trains, and restaurants that cater to her preferred diet of French fries, well done steak, or plain pizza. I will offer that Larry and I have found Swiss wines excellent, if pricey.
Weggis is a small lakeside resort, popular with elderly Swiss and Germans, along with Japanese tour groups. Our hotel, the Beau Rivage, is lovely with staff that go over and beyond to satisfy someone who likes the idea of travel somewhat more than the reality.
We have gone up Mount Rigi in Weggis, taking the cablecar and the cograil train. Beautiful views and wildflowers. Mount Pilatus was up the steepest cograil in the world. and anothet day we went for a long boat ride around Lake Lucerne. Happy to report that MIL loved it all. We even eventually found a restaurant in town where she actually enjoyed the food.
Central Switzerland is indeed beautiful, although I find the town's not nearly as interesting as in other countries.
More tomorrow!
