We hopped aboard (well not literally or the Swiss would really think we were crazy) one of the ferries that connects all the little towns around this huge inland sea. It took two hours to sail from Brunner to Lucerne. I think we made 8-9 stops. Now that's what I call hopping.
Mom really liked Lucerne. Here's the famous bridge and water tower that dates from the 13 century. The bridge burned in the early 1990's and they lost a lot of the original artwork that was designed to fit inside the trusses of the bridge as you walk from one end to the other.
After taking a bus tour of the city and walking around a bit, we got back on the ferry boat. Here the captain guides the steam-driven paddle wheeler into port.
Here's a window through which we could watch the paddle wheel.

The Swiss won't think you're crazy if you hop (or hope -- which is what you actually wrote) as long as you're spending those tourists dollars there!
Great pictures! Looks like you're enjoying your holiday over there. :)
