My Swiss Experience... Highs: Seeing Lorenz again; going to the Matterhorn; seeing 'the Swiss Alps'; the chocolate shop selection; the bakery options; the cleanliness of the trains; the timeliness of the trains; fondue. Lows: Having my flight be delayed 3 hours from Dubrovnik to Zurich; having such a short stay; saying 'good-bye' to Lorenz. Best Moment: Seeing the Matterhorn with Lorenz. Craziest Moment: Having the train conductor apologize for a 4-minute delay in departure that our train was going to experience. Smells: Cheese coming from fondue pots in the fondue restaurants we went to; chocolate coming from the chocolate shops. Sounds: The sound of air while being way up high in the snowy mountains. Sights: The Matterhorn; the Swiss Alps; sheep and cows; tons of chocolate shops and bakeries. Tastes: Fondue with mushrooms; fondue with tomatoes; different types of chocolate; apfel kuchen. Purchases: Some chocolate and a few more items of clothing from H&M. Street Food: Sausages; big soft pretzels. Fun Food Finds: A McGruyere burger at McDonald's. Kind of funny. 'Western' (more like 'American') Companies Out Here: McDonald's; Subway; Starbucks. Other General Info... Visa needed? Nope. Type of currency? Swiss Franc. About 1 Swiss Franc equals $1.15 US. Things Switzerland Is Known For: Chocolate (yes!); cheese; being neutral; the Alps; the Matterhorn; watches; army knives. Costs: $550 (largely due to Lorenz' generosity). |
