Switzerland 2025 - Day 13 / Lucerne, Solothurn, and another family reunion

Steps today: 22 319 / 14.71 km

Just like yesterday, today started with a walk around Lake Lucerne, and then a family reunion - my dad's side this time.

The lake was as beautiful as ever, and I can't get over how there are still so many flowers in bloom in mid-late October!





We strolled around Lucerne some more, just soaking it up and enjoying the city.





Coffee stop. In hindsight I don't remember what we did for lunch....  probably just a sandwich at the train station.



We met up with my aunt and cousin around 2:30, joined by my mom, and had a nice wander around Solothurn.  Spending time with my father's sister today seemed particularly special because by coincidence today was the anniversary of his death.


Solothurn was a very nice town, I don't think I've ever visited it before....




 Lit a candle for my father in the church



The after the stroll, we stopped for a drink and were joined by my cousin's sons who are all grown up now... where does the time go? I have a picture of where we stopped, but was too distracted to take some of us, damn!


Afterwards, we moved over to a pizzeria where the rest of the family joined us -  we were 11 in total.  It was a really fun night, but that ginormous pizza kicked my ass!!!!



We parted ways around 20:30, and Frank and I headed back to Lucerne.  No more stops on this night, it was late enough for us!
