Lucerne, Switzerland – All the Wonder You Can Afford
The Chapel Bridge (14th century)
When the train stopped in Lucerne it was a holiday and the town was quiet. We had just spent hours along the tunnels and snow-covered tracks of a railway through the Swiss Alps and we were hungry. Sadly, the only thing open between us and our hostel was a McDonald’s in the train station. We ate there begrudgingly.
It cost $10 dollars (U.S) for a meal-deal. It was 1996 and the dollar was stronger than it is now. I can’t imagine what kind of change Mickey D’s is raking in over there these days.
We had just spent a few extra days in Prague and we were already late for Barcelona. We decided the pocket-friendly thing to do was cut our visit in Switzerland down to one night. Hey, we were on a budget.
