Rheinfall

We left Weisbaden, and I found out that the park I sat in the night before was in front of a casino. Great, I could have gambled. So, we headed on toward our next stop, which was Lucerne, Switzerland. Our bus went through the Black Forest region of Germany. It was a beautiful section of Germany with quaint houses that looked like they had not been touched by war. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant that served bottled water. The labels had my last name (Durst) on them, so I took one with me. After lunch, our bus pressed forward, and we arrived at the border between Germany and Switzerland at a place called Rheinfall. It was on the Rhine River, and it was where there were waterfalls and rapids along the river. It is truly the most beautiful place I have ever seen in the world. If you ever get a chance to go, you need to. Although there are some tourist areas around it, the area is for the most part unspoiled. We got back on the bus and continued on into Switzerland. We passed by Zurich and got to Lucerne. We were at the base of the Alps, and the temperature was colder than what we had seen before. From 127 degrees in Israel just a few days before to 50 degrees now. It was a bit of a shock. Thankfully, I had my jacket. Our hotel was centrally located in the middle of the city. There were shops nearby, as well as a movie theatre. We were pretty tired from our trip and went to bed. We had seen a lot of very pretty sights that day. Especially Rheinfall.
