WITH TIM AND AMY IN LUZERN

Today (Saturday) we have spent the most wonderful day with Tim and Amy in Luzern. Luzern is a great place to visit, but probably not in the dead of winter. That didn't stop us from enjoying each other's company. Quite the contrary actually. It meant we could spend a lot of time in Cafe's chatting!! So, here's how the day panned out!

Met Tim and Amy at the Luzern Railway Station. They were waiting for us (forgot to ask them how long - oops!). Absolutely lovely to see them again, especially as it was a bit sad saying goodbye in Colmar last Saturday.

It was freezing in Luzern so decided we all needed a drink to warm ourselves up. Went to a lovely but very busy Cafe/Restaurant. Amy and I had a white hot chocolate drink (yes, we discovered we both love white chocolate!), Tim had one of those new fandangle drinks that I don't want to spell on my blog (!!), and Rog was boring and had black coffee. We shared some delicious treats (cakes) as well. Sorry, none for Amy. That's unfair.

We walked over the covered bridge which looks like this in the summer!!! It was extensively burnt in 1993. It was rather cold walking across today, as you can imagine.

After this we jumped on a bus and went to see the weeping lion. Very moving stone sculpture.

We needed lunch and you have to remember that Tim and Amy were with 'missionaries'!! So.... we had made lunch before leaving home, but we needed somewhere warm to eat it! Amy thought of the warm 'rooms' they have on the station platforms - clever girl - so off we went to sit in one of these. Amy called it 'the bunker'!! But it was warm, reasonably clean and mostly we had it all to ourselves! Ate salami and salad rolls, had some mars bar slice I had made ( oh yum ) and a banana each.

Then we decided we needed another hot drink so found a really nice restaurant and sat there drinking for about 1.5 hours and afterwards went to a souvenir shop just for the fun of it.

You can probably imagine how hard it was for us all to say goodbye. We have all had the most wonderful time together and it is so lovely to see Tim and Amy so happy, not only together, but in doing this fantastic trip.

Amy did remind me it will only be 7 months and we will see each other again! Can't wait.

To cap off the most beautiful day, Tim rang to see if we had got home safely and to say they loved us. We are so very blessed to have the most wonderful family. Thank you God for our family.
