I can't say they are less expensive there, but the magic of purchasing one at Bucherer's in Lucerne is matchless!

You know, it has been so long since I have seen that movie. Now that you have said that I am going to have to go back and watch it again.

Good job... looks like a uber-memorable trip. I especially like the covered pier/walkway. Between the architecture and scenery, wow...

I took this in Lucerne, Switzerland. The bridge is just beautiful! Here are a few more.




















This is just around the corner from Bucherer's where I purchased my Rolex YM

The hills are alive with the sound of music ... where's Julie Andrews?

While there, how many Rollies did you see in the wild?
