Lucerne (or Luzern), Switzerland was our next stop with the Andersons.
We vowed to return to Lauterbrunnen very soon.
Part of the bridge complex is the octagonal 113 foot tall (from ground) Wasserturm, which translates to "water tower," in the sense of 'tower standing in the water.'
The tower pre-dated the bridge by about 30 years.
We had a wonderful dinner along the river with Ward and Karen.
What an amazing setting for a good meal.
The mountain in the distance is Mount Pilatus that we had been atop earlier in the day.
Day two of exploring this beautiful city ... and we may have taken a few pictures of the bridge.
A large part of the Chapel Bridge was destroyed by fire in 1993. Of the 111 triangular paintings on the bridge at the time of the fire, 86 of them were burned either partially or beyond recognition.
