A visit to Mount Titlis marked the last day of our Europe trip, I am always excited to go snowy places but this time round I realized i had underdressed for the mountain, lol! Mount Titlis has a cold, snowy climate with permanent snow cover and freezing temperatures as its summit is located above the snow line. It's covered by snow all year round even in summer! Wearing the romper with a denim jacket was clearly not a good idea, everyone was staring at me and wondering if I am crazy..hahaha! Anyway, we had a good time enjoying the breathtaking scenery and snapping lots of pictures away.
We went back to Lucerne after lunch to visit the famous lion monument, a memorial for the heroic deaths of the Swiss mercenaries in battle during the French Revolution at the Tuileries in 1792. It was carved out of natural rock and dedicated Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti which means 'To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss'. Mark Twain described the Lion of Lucerne as the saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world and I couldn't agree more. I can literally feel the sadness and pain from the lion's face, definitely a remarkable piece of art. Did some souvenirs shopping there and off to airport in late afternoon.
7 days in Europe was way too short, I wish we could have more time exploring the places, not rushing here and there but it was a nice trip after all. Ok, I will end this post with a video that sum up our whole europe trip..hehe! CLICK HERE and please watch in HD! :D
