Off season
Surprisingly no queues at Mythenquai lido!

Nel blu dipinto di blu
From the blue sky of Pilatus Kulm …
… down towards the Vierwaldstättersee.
Then by gondola above the woods,
back to the flatland …
… back to Lucerne and the blue of its Roiss river.
This is the end of the Golden Round Trip started with a cruise and a cogwheel train.
