Day 17 – Lausanne and Lake Geneva
Another warm day ahead. Not really complaining – it just makes the moseying a little slower. We were up early today, hoping to catch a morning boat ride on Lake Geneva before it gets too warm. We missed the 9:15 … Continue reading
Day 16 – Dust off the French, we’re heading to Lausanne

Day 15 – Trümmelbach Falls
What do you do when it’s hot outside? Find someplace cool. We found that cool place in Lauterbrunnen at the Trümmelbach Falls. The melting glaciers create a river that over the years has cut right through the mountain. It is … Continue reading

Woke up and it was warm already. The unusually warm weather is definitely making water activities more attractive. For example, we’ve been taking two showers a day. While others have gone nearby and done some rafting on the river, we … Continue reading

Day 12 – Bern, baby, Bern

Day 11 – Chilling in Interlaken.
After last evening’s romantic rainfall, we were hoping today would be dry and sunny. However, the weather person says more rain and a chance for some afternoon thunderstorms is in the forecast. Oh well, we had decided to rest up … Continue reading
Day 10 – Journey to the top of Europe – Jungfraujoch
We have enjoyed the beauty of Switzerland in each and every place we have visited so far. Everything is just so green and natural, plus exceptionally clean. I can honestly say I have never breathed in such fresh air and … Continue reading
Day 9 – Moving on to Interlaken
Wow, that went fast. Hard to believe that we are finished with Lucerne and moving on to Interlaken. We really enjoyed our time in Lucerne. The boat rides, the mountaintop, the riverfront and the old town were all wonderful. I … Continue reading
Day 8 – Exploring Old Town Lucerne
After yesterday’s wonderful day in the mountains, today we explored the old town of Lucerne. Once again, we got an early start as thunderstorms were scheduled to head this way in the afternoon. We walked over to the bus stop … Continue reading

Day 6 – Moving on to Lucerne
Hard to believe our time in Zürich is over. We really enjoyed exploring the city and neighboring areas. As Zürich is our entry to Switzerland, we could not be happier with our choice. Our favorite things about Zürich are easy … Continue reading
Day 5 – Last day in Zürich
Our last day in Zürich was a lazy one. We went out for a walk in the morning, mostly to let the maid clean up our room. The hotel lobby was bustling with people checking out and others trying to … Continue reading
Day 4 – Day trip to Rapperswil and Schaffhausen
With the weather defying the odds, we decided to go exploring again today. Our journey this morning was to Rapperswil at the far end of Lake Zurich. We had originally planned to take a boat ride to get there, but … Continue reading
