We have just finished our 5 day trek through the beautiful country of Switzerland. Aside from it being incredibly pricey for almost everything, it had some of the most picturesque views I have ever seen.
After Geneva, we headed to Lucerne. The giant lake was gorgeous and the town was full of character. We took a boat to the base of a mountain, then hopped on a cogwheel train up to the summit. At the top, we walked to all three lookout points and wandered through tunnels. Literally, our heads were in the clouds.
Once we had our fill, we rode the cable car part way down before switching to the gondola. That night, we went to a park near our hostel where a ton of locals were hanging out. It was right on the lake and we sat there until the sun had set. It was beautiful.
I developped a fear of swans while in Switzerland. They make look all nice and pretty floating on the lake, but they can be vicious, vicious birds. I kept quoting Billy Madison all trip, 'Stop looking at me, swan.' :P
Zurich
We only spent a day in the city, and that was enough. At least for my budget. Zurich was unbelievably expensive, but worth the day's trip.
We spent almost 9 hours on a train today to get to Vienna. Only got here around 6:30pm so the sightseeing begins tomorrow.
