Journey to Interlaken
... we are in first class today, with large windows that curve up onto the ceiling so we get panoramic views of the mountains and villages we pass. The train wound through the valleys at first, passing village after village that looked like fairy tales. After a while Lisa and I realised that the whole country essentially looks like a ski resort. There are wooden homes with slanted roofs and little carvings on the roof peaks. A lot of the ...
Lucerne

A Swedish Christmas in Switzerland

For 4 days we ate like kings, drank an obscene amount of Gluhwein to warm up, laughed at our inadequacies on the slopes and then did it all over again the next day. The food everywhere we went was outstanding including an introduction to fondue three ways at the Alpen Club - meat, cheese and chocolate. Pretty hard to go wrong eating in Engelberg - the only downside being the cost. ...
