Following our 2008 trek up Mt. Fuji, Lydia and I decided it was time to climb more mountains. This time our target was Mt. Pilatus near Lucerne, Switzerland.
We reached the mountain peak on a train that is apparently the steepest tracks in the world, according to our Contiki tour guide Matt.
Once at the top, we were rewarded with some picture perfect views. The weather gods were also extremely kind to us and with the sun shining, it was pretty much impossible to take a photo that wasn't postcard-worthy.
Also at one point, Lydia decided to spiderman up some cliffs. Because she's crazy.
Later we strolled through the pretty little town of Lucerne, shopping for Swiss chocolates and Swiss army knives.
The Swiss have some pretty interesting items in their grocery stores, including Duff beer and trippy, tie-dye eggs. They also have vending machines featuring "Maybe Baby" pregnancy tests and sweet cannabis iced tea.

We also made a brief stopover in Geneva (another beautiful city) on the way to Lyon--where we stayed in a haunted chateau! But more on that later...
Right now we're in Barcelona. Gotta brush up on our espanol...Una cervesa por favor!
