Luzerne




We were to a 3 days meeting in Luzerne. I knew that Luzerne is one of the most beautiful places in Switzerland, but never had a chance to visit it. We were there for three days, and stayed in a hotel which used to be a jail till 1998, and still resembles a jail!! you can see the hotel going to:

Well one evening, we went to an excursion on the lake Luzerne with the boat, and then took a took a train to go on top of one the nearby hills. It was rainy but a rainbow appeared afterward and it was a relly fantastic view. I am putting a picture to share it with you. Well after all I would say it really worth to visit Luzerne and spend some times there! Hope you enjoy it.

Some days in Russia



As you may see, I was not blogging for some time, during which, I was in Russia to visit a friend of mine.
Here is the story:
I got to zurich airport one hour before departure, but they told me that the flight have been overbooked and it was full!!!! What should I do then? I asked. The lady told me that they can give me a hotel with lunch and dinner for free. Well I accepted and went to Zurich Airport Hilton Hotel. Next day I flied to Moscow and met my friend. Moscow is a huge city and Subway (Metro) is the best way of travel in the city. I entered the metro, and got amazed of architucture. You can check out a picture here. But after a minute entered the train at it was dirty, old and was making a lot of noise!! Afterward i visited some museums and Kremlin Palace and Red Square as well. I would say Moscow is a place to visit once, not more:)
