Excursion of Switzerland after disembarking in Basel from our Rhine River cruise.

Beautiful video!  My husband and I will be there in May after taking the train from Milan through the alps.  Prior to that, we will be on a 9 night cruise from Barcelona to Venice.  We are very much looking forward to seeing Lucerne and Zurich.  Thank you!

 

BTW - I see you are from Gainesville, GA.   My grandparents lived there for many years when my grandfather was president of Brenau College.  I have fond memories of the town, the college, and my grandparents house (now the college administration building.)   I also had relatives living near the lake...I believe on Club Drive.

Thanks for the comments. I love Venice. Sailing into and out of Venice is breath taking. What a great trip. When you get to Lucerne be sure and ride the cable car up Mt. Pilatus and take the cogwheel train down. Neat experience.  I lived in the country club for 27 years, so I most likely knew your relatives.  Gainesville is a great place to live - when I'm not traveling! :)

We have been to Venice by cruise before and are excited to see it again...especially during  arrival this trip at 6:30 am.  Hoping for a clear morning.  The city lights should be beautiful!    The last time we were there, we departed Venice by ship.  The lights were just beginning to come on. 

 

We do plan a day excursion to Mt. Pilatus.  Have friends that also recommended we do that. 

 

Sadly, my Uncle John and Aunt Jeannie have been gone for many years.  I found their address and it was Club Drive (corner of Club and Capri.)  House still looks the same..actually better!  While visiting Gainesville in the summer, and not staying at my grandparents house, I stayed there.  My aunt would drop my cousins and I off down at the CC pool for an entire day! 

 

Thank you for the memories!
