My Trip To Switzerland

Tweet

I have been to twenty-five different countries and I count Switzerland as my favorite so far. I always WANTED to go to Switzerland from the time I was a small child and saw pictures of the Alps and the movie "Heidi" although that movie was about Austria. I got to go to Austria too on this same trip and also to Germany and also to Liechtenstein. It was everything I ever dreamed it would be, too. I was NOT disappointed. We stayed in a very interesting hotel in Lucerne and from there traveled to the other countries. There was a 500 year old covered bridge that we were planning to see, but just a few months before we were to go, an arsonist, we were told, caused the bridge to burn, almost destroying it completely. They were in the process of restoring the bridge when we arrived. We could see it from a distance, but could not go through it. Sad that someone would deliberately do that. You have to wonder WHY? The part that I love the best though was a train ride up through the Bernese Oberland to Berne, the capital of Switzerland. Looking out of the windows on the train, we could see one beautiful scene after another. Sparkling blue lakes, Chateaus and Villas on the mountainsides. It was like a dream come true for me. It was February and there was snow on the mountains. And in Berne, it began to snow while we were there. What a wonderful trip, and thanks to the company I worked for, it was all FREE. This trip needs to be on everyone's Bucket List, a place to go before you die. Have you ever been to Switzerland? Do you live in Switzerland? Tell me about your experiences there. PLEASE.
