After a hearty breakfast including a Swiss favourite of Birchen Muesli with yogurt, fruit and nuts, Rob and I ventured to Mount Pilatus.  You can get to the top of the 7,000 foot mountain by cable car or cog wheel train (not open for us because of too much snow).  This picture is at the tip top of the mountain.  It has beautiful views of the Alps, obviously, but also has many legends surrounding it.  It is named Pilatus because local legend says that Pontius Pilate was buried there.  There are also lots of stories of dragons living around this mountain and surrounding lakes.
