Swiss Water Week
... mother of all European Waterfalls – the Rhine Falls. The Rhine is somewhat the water-life-line of Europe, from its dwell in Switzerland to its mouth in the Netherlands. It has always been and still is a major commercial trading route. The Rhine Falls is the biggest waterfalls in Europe in terms of water going down per second. And yes, there was a lot of water. Arriving on the canton of Zurich side of the falls we had a quick look at the Castle of ...
Jungfraujoch
... thigh level rope to help pull you up (or slow you down when you're headed out). It is single file so you have to take turns with people leaving. Once at the top, there is a big open room with tables and a walk up counter/bar. Lunch was 1 bowl of vegetable soup, sausage, a beer, and bottle of water for $25. But WOW what a view!! The return trip was all downhill so it took us only half the time. Back inside the tunnel, we explored the rest of ...

Now you haven't gone sledding until it's been down a dark mountain road traveling at speeds exceeding 30mph having to avoid hitting people, rocks, and overhanging cliffs. But really it was such a blast even with the freezing temperatures. ...
Rendezvous in Interlaken
... It was great to leave the car and camper at the campsite and use the super efficient Swiss transport system.
Getting to the top of the Neiderhorn (1950 metres) included a bus (which travelled swiftly along the edge of the lake, huge drops to the left and gushing waterfalls to the right), a mountain funicular and a cable car. For the second half of the usually spectacular journey (we could see it on the postcards and brochures) ...
