A walk around town.

For want of anything better to write about I decided to featurea a few of the local architectural attractions to be had on off, in and around Luzern. It would take hundreds of photographs to give a true interpretation of the city, such is the rich splendor of my new digs. But if you were that interested then you should really just use your eyes and come here.
The city of Luzern is split by a river, the river Ruesse (I think), its not like london and both sides are safe at night time. In the centre the river is crossed by 5 bridges. One sits over the hydro electric generator thats powers part of the city. Two of these bridges are wooden and in their rafters are renaissance paintings of death killing various people, somewhere around 50ish paintings in total originaly, until a fire burnt down most of the bigger bridge.
We live in the old town, its distinctive because of its cobble streets and numerous squares, the architecture here is especially beautiful, a range of small alleys to expansive squares with a variety of late night cafes. On this side of the river sits the remainder of the old defensive wall some 10 meteres high with turrets, crenelations and towers with chiming clocks.
To the south of the river sits Pilatus the mountain in the distance and a range of mountains behind, this side of the river houses more practical shops, and the less touristy stores. Gutsch and the Gutschwald lay on this side too, either a ten miute climb up a zig zagging path of 2 miutes in the fernicular for 5CHF (bit of a rip off) you can stand on the mini summit and servey all you command, and they have a cannon too! At night this place is lit up, and appears to be made from gold.
This side of the river also holds the KKL , which the centre for culture in Luzern. It is a gigantic building, which houses a museum, concert hall and gallery. It has a stark exterior made of polished black glass and steel frame, infact its sinister enough for my photographic comparison to the Death Star (image has been horizontally flipped for artistic effect).
The KKL is neighbours with the train station, and the harbour. From here you can board large ships and explore the lake in luxuary over a couple of hours voyage, or like Hiromi and I you can adopt a pioneers spirit and hire a pedallow around the corner and set out for glory. Around the lake is dotted a casino, an imax and the transport museum.
So, come to Luzern Switzerland and 'Get natural' as their saying goes.
