Lucern: Part 2

Now, after the glaciers, the bear museum. (If you don't like teddy bears, you can skip to the middle of the post, where we go back to town)

Man leading a bear. Why on earth?!

Aww...a cute warrior bear from the middle-ages

some impressive bear origami

Paddington Bear! It's even holding a marmalade sandwich!

a huge bear! (the mammoth is painted, in case you're having doubts)

a stuffed fox (real stuffed or fake stuffed, I dunno...)

a model of Lucern (I'm sure you can spot its landmark ;) )

a model of Matterhorn

some more bear stuff

I've forgotten which ones, but some of them move when we approach the glass case

isn't this bear supposed to be in Bern? (okay, this one didn't move. lol)

Look at the little old lady!

a bear conference

a bear playroom

I love the chessboard!

The dollhouse museum I visited in Basel had a section like this too, with teddy bears. That's why I liked it so much :P Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take photos in that one. (and we definitely had to pay to enter!)

a fossil (I can't remember of what *sigh*)
Come to think of it, this was probably something we missed in the glacier museum (I told you they were in the same building), and we saw it as we were going out.

two plump rabbits in the garden

that's the museum (pretty building, isn't it?); we didn't actually see what the building looked like when we went in through the glacier garden

Back to town, we walked around a bit more.

Some weird stuff on the streets:

garden furniture?

I'm not too sure whether these are for sale :P

Some buildings:

the town hall (the square was too tiny for me to get a complete photo with my own camera :/ )

the Jesuit Church, across the river Reuss

a bread man! :P

the Needle Dam Facility with the Spreuer Bridge behind it
The level of Lake Lucern is regulated by hand through the removal and replacement of the wooden posts ("needles")

and this is taken from the Spreuer Bridge

the Franciscan Church

the Ritterscher Palace (it doesn't look like a palace at all!)
I'm sure the building with the flags is part of it, but I'm not so sure about the building on the right...

the Chapel Bridge and Water Tower from another angle (the other end of the bridge, actually)
You can see Hof Church in the background.

That afternoon we left for Geneva, where we were to take the train back to Lyon. So that was the end of our Switzerland trip.
