Lucerne and Mount Titlis: Our last trip to the Swiss before returning to SG

Our last trip to Switzerland before returning SG. We planned to spend our Saturday in Lucerne and Mount Titlis on Sunday.

I can never ever drive on such winding roads even though Switzerland really did a good job in maintaining the roads. And we reached a landmark along the Furka Pass, Hotel Restaurant Belvedere. The highlight is not the Hotel la. From this hotel, you can walk to the Rhone Glacier and the Ice Grotto (an ice tunnel)! It's really near. But we...
