We woke up to a foggy morning and decided to catch the train earlier than planned. No reason to stay longer in Lucerne. Not being able to see mountains when surrounded by BIG mountains is mysterious and disappointing.
Finally the sun burned off all the fog and the mountains were visible. Our destination for the afternoon was Chur, pronounced Kur. It is the oldest city in Switzerland. Since we left early we decided to try our luck and head to Liechtenstein with the possibility of Austria too. (We never reached Austria.)
I really enjoy researching odd places to visit. Our destination in Liechtenstein was the oldest and only covered bridge remaining crossing the Rhine River. One of my favorite sites had this bridge listed with unusual facts, https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/alte-rheinbrucke-rhine-bridge. This bridge did not disappoint.
The inside walls bore informational billboards describing the bridge and its history. In the middle, a dividing signpost for country boundaries. I was excited for sure.
After more walking than we expected we finally reached Chur by bus and train. I took a quick stop in the Artisan chocolatier store for sights and smells. My ankle was screaming in pain! At the hotel I rested my ankle while Randy explored the car-free old part of town.
He found a wonderful place for dinner. The food was top notch. I am not a huge fan of food pictures and I started teasing Randy for taking so many. I admit that toward the end of the trip we had to reference food photos to remember each city and our experiences.
