Last week was spent with Yusuke traveling around Switzerland together. So, this explains the late responses to emails etc... during the time I was away.
After Yusuke's arrival from Japan to Switzerland on Saturday (13.10.2007), we started traveling around. The map shows our trip sequence. The trip plan was for Yusuke to tour Luzern, then travel together to:
- go see Bern;
- go to Interlaken to make it our station;
- see the Matterhorn;
- go up the highest station in Europe on top of Jungfraujoch (btw, the J in German is equivalent to a Y in English);
- go to Lausanne;
- see Geneva;
- shopping in Zurich;
- see the Rhein Falls near Schaffhausen;
- visit the old town of Stein am Rhein.
All this was done in 7 days with a Swiss Pass for most of the time, and need more time to discover other parts of Switzerland. Photos are
here.
The trip was great, we were lucky to have good weather. It was a bit cold, but mostly clear skies. Most of the time we backpacked in Interlaken and Zürich. It was not the busy season, so it was relatively quiet, however, the staff at the Happy Inn Lodge were great, thanks to Pete, Vitor and Dustin for the great times. I would recommend the place, and will definitely re-visit.
Ciao.
