Last Day in Zug

At the start of this trip, I was getting up at 4am, working for a couple of hours, and then going back to bed. Over a couple of days that evolved to getting up between 5-6am and just staying up. Saturday, I woke up, worked for an hour, and then noticed the day was looking mighty fine as the sun started to rise. Checked the Zug harbor webcam and saw that you could see the Rigi and the Pilatus and the lake was crystal calm. Clearly, it was time to investigate! Alan was waking so we threw on clothes, left Nan a note, and headed down towards the lake.

It was a beautiful morning, clear and calm, with the sun just starting to reflect on the alps. No one was up as we meandered around the lakeshore, watching the cormorants and herons hunting. As we walked towards the station, we saw the Saturday farmer's market starting to get set up and the street cleaner driving his mad vehicle around (seriously, I thought he might end up in the lake). After watching the morning evolve, we decided to head for a bakery for warm croissants for breakfast and ended up at Speck (where we also saw a delicious Bailey's cake).

Back at the apartment, Alan came up with the idea of taking the new train that stops right out back of Nan's apartment just down the lake to enjoy the views in the sunshine. Nan hadn't even taken this train so it was a new adventure for all of us. We simply rode down the lake, got off, and then headed back to the PostPlatz station where we got off and headed down to the Widder for a cheese fondue. Yes, we do a lot of eating in Switzerland!
