To the Top of the Mountain

Another beautiful day for us here in Switzerland.  No Swiss trip is complete without a visit to the Alps, and we had the pleasure of heading to the top of Mt. Titlis in Engelberg, about a two hours commute from Basel.

It was quite the commute getting there today, as it was trains, buses, and gondolas that got us to the peak.  We spent about two hours on the top of the mountain  where we had lunch, explored the glacier cave, went over a suspension bridge, and enjoyed the sublime views.  We then headed back down the mountain the way we came up, and the students took some amazing time-lapse videos of our trip down.

We had a little bit more time in Lucerne, which students enjoyed by taking in scenes by the lake and enjoying some chocolate and ice cream.  I could say more, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
