Rigi and Lucerne

Yesterday was another early wake-up call, followed by a drive down to the Rigi, via the charming hamlet of Vitznau. We took the cable car up to the summit and walked down for an hour before returning the rest of the way by cable car. We then drove to Luzern (the city where Evelyne and Thibaut were married a little over a year ago), and were treated to lunch by Evelyne's charming parents Sylvia and Leonard at the historic Hotel Montana. An afternoon spent sight-seeing around "the most beautiful city in Europe" led to our return to Zurich in time to catch Ariadne auf Naxos at the Opera House!
