Back from Lucerne. Actually I have been back for the last 8 hours and roughly 25 minutes already, but spent them in bed and then in the bath, because I didn't sleep well at all last night. The LotR Symphony was amazing though! Quite a lot of the time both shirasade and I had goosebumps - right at the beginning for example - and oh yes there were tears in my eyes at several points during the concert too. I have to say thank goodness the female soloist's rendition of "Into the West" didn't make me feel as weepy as the original does, or I'd have been sobbing instead of just teary. :)

Oh, and before the concert, when we walked through the entrance hall towards the stairs (we were on the 4th balcony), John Howe walked past us! Obviously he was also there to listen to the Symphony. That was actually the second celebrity sighting we had that evening, because earlier while we were looking for a restaurant with normal priced food for dinner, we saw Kurt Aeschbacher, one of the more prominent and long-lasting TV personalities in Switzerland.

Right, I better go look for some dinner before I keel over...

Oh me too! Thank Eru I was looking at Howard Shore's website when I did... I'd have been SO furious with myself if I had missed it, or had looked too late to still get tickets! *squishes*
