more obligatory gorgeous-scenery-on-the-highways-photos
believe it or not, bata is a premium brand in europe. hahahaha. 99 FRANCS FOR SHOES.
i can never get tired of taking pictures of these. in fact i can stay in one of their bakeries/chocolatiers the whole day and just stare at the mindboggling array of goodies.
the lucerne lion
there really wasn't much to do or see at lucerne after all the picture taking along the river, so it was onwards to interlaken! (FINALLY)the drive to interlaken was a long and tiring one (for jiayin :P). after days and days of driving and closing in onto the alps, we were finally driving straight into the alps itself where interlaken was located. this obviously meant some of the most beautiful views you could possibly imagine, but also long and winding mountain roads.
but the views well, were indescribable. we stopped along the road a couple of times just to take pictures
soon we were at interlaken!
many many farms
our bed&breakfast. this has got to be one of my favourite places that we stayed at. although we didn't have elevators, our delightful hosts helped us carry our luggage all the way up to the 4th floor. (DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING THAT IS. EACH OF OUR LUGGAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20KG) the rooms were incredibly cosy and hey! free wireless and cable!
too bad we were staying there for only 2 dayswe decided to have a truly authentic (and subsequently, exorbitant) swiss meal, which mean swiss cheese fondue!
yes, MORE pork schnitzel and rosti. i think the cheese fondue was doused with so much liquor you could actually get drunk on it if you ate enough.
