Around Luzern

On Friday 7 Sept I went over to Zurich to drop off the clothes I'd borrowed. Went for a walk along the Limmat as far as Höngg. There was a big swimming area in the river but was a bit too cold for anyone to brave a dip. Took the tram back through the centre of town to Triemli for another walk up Uetliberg. Back down the bottom took the tram from Albisguetli to the gold coast for a walk along the lake foreshores at sunset. Went for a tram ride out to Oerlikon for something to do then went back to Luzern.
The next day we went to the neighbourhood soccer competition. Everyone was dressed in their team colours and taking the event quite seriously. Timo captained his team to victory and I enjoyed a bratwurst. In the afternoon we went to see Eliane perform at the church, followed be a great dinner with many courses at a nearby restaurant. Finished the night with a party of someones birthday.... could have been Eliane's friends parents or something like this.
On Sunday despite being a nice sunny day I had to spend a few hours planning out the holidays for the upcoming months. In the afternoon went for a bike ride along the lake lake through Horw, Hergiswil and out to Stans. In town I caught the tail end of a local festival and street parade. Everone was dressed in their traditional costumes with plenty of alphorns and flag twirling.
