Sat, Aug 25: Mt. Titlis
We took a train to
Engelberg. In an unusual development for
Switzerland,
the train ran slow, and finally broke down.
We had to wait for another train, costing us an hour.
At Engelberg, we took a cog
train, cable car, and gondola to top of Mt Titlis (10,000 feet). Gondolas rotate 360 degrees on the way up and
down. The gondola goes right over the
glacier.
At the top, we had great views
of other mountains and a glacier, except it was very cloudy, with only occasional
clearings. We ate lunch at the top.
We did not have time for the Ice Palace, as we had to catch the last Gondola down, where we heard the ubiquitous cow bells.
It rained on the way back to Lucerne, but that stopped in the late
afternoon.
