After a good night sleep at Irene’s house, we headed to Lachen to visit Irene’s mother, Pia and sister, Sibylle. Pia, is going to the Canary Islands and Sibylle is going to Italy, both leave tomorrow, so we made a beeline to to Lachen to see them. Unfortunately we ended up going through Zurich and dealing with the Zurich traffic, oh well we made it to Lachen eventually…
After a nice visit with them we took the scenic route to our apartment in Arth. The weather today isn’t so good. It rained some and the rest of the time it was very overcast. Our route took us through hillside with many picturesque villages, all very typically Swiss. Here are a couple of pictures from our scenic route.
We arrived at our apartment. Here is a map showing where Arth is.
The apartment is right on the edge of the Zuggersee. It’s a perfect retreat for us for the next 4 days (now if we could only get a break from the rain). Here are pictures of our view and the apartment.
The mother of the house’s owner gave us a complete tour of the apartment. After getting settled we went to the grocery store and provisioned. That evening we had a bread, cheese, and cold cut picnic, our favorite. As the weather cleared a little we even got a rainbow.
