Excellent “Fish and Chip” Lunch on SS Uri

I was out and about in the region on what turned out to be a horrendously wet day. The original plan for open air activities was very much not going to happen so at lunchtime - when the rain really started in earnest - I jumped on the steamboat Uri. To pass the time to Luzern, I went into the first class cabin and had an excellent “fish and chips” lunch washed down with a very acceptable bottle of local beer. The price tag was a bit steep - but you are paying both Swiss prices and for the privilege of being on a vintage paddle steamer. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. I would throughly recommend for when the weather plays havoc with your planned activities!

    Great Lake, Great City
    It’s a massive lake that’s very peaceful and calming. I did a daily walk along it (with many locals) and it was really good in nice weather and bad weather to be at. Lots of activity on the lake with boats etc, I did a boat cruise to Mount Rigi and the boat ride was just as enjoyable as visiting Mount Rigi. I can see why Lake Lucerne is the number 1 on Trip Advisor, make sure you spend some time enjoying the natural wonder.

    Lake Lucerne in Switzerland is encircled by mountain
    Lake Lucerne in Switzerland is encircled by mountains making it quite similar to views that one sees in a Fjord landscape. There are plenty of boat cruises to pick your pick from and they are well worth the price, most last about 2 hours so make sure you have your camera handy. The lake is quite large with a total surface area of about 44 square miles so plenty to see as you cruise slowly along the smooth water. Of course the town of Lucerne is on the lake and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
