After breakfast we take the bus and metro to Landungsbrücke. From there we take the ferry to the Elbphilharmonie. This concert hall was built on top of a former warehouse on the quay of the Elbe. The building was put into use in 2017 after many delays and cost overruns. The building contains two concert halls, restaurants, apartments, a hotel and a parking garage. At 37 meters there is a viewing platform, the plaza. Tickets for a concert are sold out more than a year in advance, so that is not an option today.
In Yosemite we first look at the Tunnel View. No tunnel vision, but a viewpoint at the entrance of a tunnel through a mountain. The view over the valley is beautiful, with the El Capitan mountain in the middle. We drive down and arrive at the Upper Yosemite waterfall. Also very beautiful. Up close you get wet from the spray water and the swirling river.
We take the funicular to Fouvière, the mountain on which the Basilque ND FourviereRomans established their city of Lugdunum. Strategically located overlooking the two rivers. We arrive at the Notre Dame de Fouviere from the 19th century. The basilica is richly decorated with mosaics of religious and historical events in Lyon and France. The church was built in gratitude that the city was not destroyed by the Prussians in 1871.
