European Trip #2: Lucerne, Switzerland

European trip musings #2: Here are some pics of Lucerne from the car. We stopped by Lucerne after landing in Zurich, on our way to Sion, Switzerland. This was also our first experience of finding (and navigating) a parking space. Parking garages in Europe seem to be largely underground. Something us Floridians are not used to, given our high water tables. Our rental car was a Kia Ceed; the equivalent of a Ford Focus. Not a large car, yet, navigating parking spots was often a challenge, as the aisles of the parking garages offered no room to maneuver. In all the miles we covered in the rental car, the most notable thing missing was large vehicles. Large by our standards, such as no big SUVs, trucks, or vans. 90% of the cars, regardless of make/model, were of a compact size.
