cog railway from Alpnachstad, operating from May to
November (depending on snow conditions), and the whole

We, Hui Chin and I arrived in Paris early Friday
morning to apply for our Mali Visa.
We went to to the Embassy.
Wrong place, have to go the Consulate.
At the Consulate we were told wrong day for applications,
(Applications only accepted on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday
(9am-12 pm.)
We had two days to spare and a two months Eurail Pass.
Off to Lucern we hurried to try out the world's longest
cograil railway up to Mount Pilatus.
Well, after arriving in Lucern, we bought a ticket to
Mt. Pilatus.
That ticket entitled us to a boat trip from Lucern to
Alpnachstad, there we caught the longest and highest
cograil train in the World to Pilatus Kulm, took time
out for a good, breathtaking look, caught an arial tramway
or gondola down to Frakmuntegg, where we had another
breathtaking look at the sorrounding Swiss Alps, and
from Frakmuntegg we caught a panoramic gondola down
to Kriens, a suburb of Lucerne.
Off course you can do the round anticlockwise too.
