Mountains in Interlaken
These Clouds Seemed to Cover the Mountain, Like a Blanket Protecting the Snow From the Hot Sun
Usually a country has some nice places and some not so nice ones, so it was amazing that wherever we went in Switzerland we always though "Wow! This place is beautiful", or something along those lines. Because of this we don't really have a highlight, or a favourie place- it was all great!

Arriving in Switzerland
Already we could see that the country side was incredibly beautiful, but we were a bit worried about the weather!
Our Room
Like in Munich, we didn't want to put up our tent because it was raining. Luckily we snagged their last cabbin. Thankfully, it was really good value too!
Brilliant Bern
The old district in Bern had easily the nicest streets we'd seen anywhere in Europe.
More Bern
We knew the Swiss countryside would be nice, but we weren't expecting the cities to be this nice too!
Flags in Bern
The flagged streets are uniquely Swiss and as you can see, they made the streets much brighter and even more interesting.
Bern Had Many Interesting Statues
This was easily the best. A giant eating children.... What the?
And of Course, Being Switzerland....
...there had to be clocks!
Bern's Cool New Train Station
We took day trips to other Swiss cities and towns almost every day we spent in Switzerland, because the train system was very efficient and the country is really compact. This day we went to Geneva.
"No Alicia. This Room is For Children"
A playground on a train. Who would have thought!
Mmm... French Baguette
The first thing we bought when we arrived in Geneva! Oh how we missed delicious French baguettes!
Interesting Statue
Outside the Geneva UN headquaters, where we did a tour of the complex.
Donging the Gong!
Also Outside the UN complex. This gong was a gift from Japan.
Standard UN Confrence Room
There are about 45 rooms like this in the complex, and over 9,000 meetings take place each year!
Inside, the Hallways Are Lined With Art From Around the World
The painting of the temple in the middle has a pathway which follows the viewer around the room, so it always looks like you are looking directly up the path towards the temple.
