Henry has taken us all over the place to see Switzerland. The countryside is gorgeous and there is a ton to do here. We went to Trummelback Falls and climbed around inside a bunch of caves to see more than 10 waterfalls. We also saw a beautiful waterfall cascading down the mountainside with the sun shining right on it. It was amazing! We also went to Grindelwald and sat outside drinking coffee and looking at the mountains. I don't know how you could ever get sick of being outside here! We saw lake Brieuz and got a view of the three famous mountain tops: Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau. Then we went to Giessback Falls. This was a really long waterfall that you could walk behind. The pictures of the beautiful hotel overlooking the lake are from this waterfall. We basically drove the GoldenPass line in Switzerland and saw some beautiful scenery over the Brunig Pass and ended up in Lucerne where we saw the wooden bridge that is the icon of the city.
Henry took us to an old city that used to be occupied by the Romans. There was an old amphitheater there that is from that time period and we got to climb all over it and also explore the museum inside and see a lot of Roman artifacts. I found it extremely interesting. We drove through a town called Nuechatelle and saw a beautiful lake there. Then we headed to a wine tasting and also sampled some delicious mushrooms and apple-fritter like things. We met some really fun Swiss people and enjoyed toasting to all kinds of things. Prost!
Cable Cars are really popular around here. I think I've had at least 10 cable car rides since I've been here. The best one was the steepest cable car in Switzerland. It was 106% grade. It was kind of scary, I'll admit it. But once we got to the top we saw the most beautiful scenery. There was a lake up there tucked in the mountain tops with the most beautiful blue water. We ran down a small path and used rocks to write my name on a rock face so people who were walking around the lake could see it. It was pretty fun.
Next stop was a glacier! We even got to walk inside of the glacier in a tunnel. It was pretty cool. Pun intended.
Eggishorn was probably my favorite mountain. We had to take 2 cable cars to get up there and then we literally did some rock climbing and made our way over to another peak with a 360 degree view. It was super fun and amazing! I love stuff like that!
Switzerland definitely takes the cake as far as scenery goes. It is beautiful everywhere you go.
