took 2 days off and visited Switzerland over the wkend. been looking forward to this trip for ages!! chocolates and cheese... mountains & lakes.. sounds heavenly =)
we visited Geneva on the first day..
The Broken Chair.. the sculpture's commissioned to urge all countries to sign the Mine Ban Treaty, to honour their commitments to help mine victims & to clear mine areas.
Beautiful lake Geneva
Autumn leaves..
giant chess boards in the park
scrumptious pizza dinner @ interlaken! btw, the food's reli expensive in Switzerland..no, correction. EVERYTHING's ridiculously expensive in Switzerland. a kebab from a takeaway costs 9CHF = 6GBP = 15SGD!! haha. this pizza's 19CHF. oh well. but when u're travelling & u're hungry.. money doesnt matter!
on the 2nd day, we drove to the cheese factory in Broc, la Maison du Gruyere (The house of Cheese)
it was a self-guided factory tour.. it was awesome! learnt everything possible abt cows & the cheese making process.
rows & rows of cheese.. they're kept on the shelves for a period of between 3 to 10mths.. the longer they ferment, the "smellier" the cheese!
our cheese fondue at long last~ the authentic Swiss cheese fondue has got a reli strong wine taste.. and u have it with potatoes & bread..
and all the cows in Switzerland has got cow bells! =) it's kind of noisy actually.. imagine an entire field of cows with cow bells.... apparently the cow bells are there to give the farmer assurance that his cows are still around..
We visited the Cailler chocolate factory next!!
It was a free choc factory tour with rows & rows of free choc samples.. how incredible is that?! we ate till we thot we were gg to die of diabetes right there and then.
after the massive feast.. it was time to appreciate nature..
beautiful lakes @ interlaken.. Thun-ner-see (Thun means tuna!)
at the base of Jungfrau mountain..
we took the cable car up to the mid station and went for a lil hike!
Mount Eigen
the valley..
top of the world... =)
the impressive trummelbach falls ~ it's a series of 10 glacier waterfalls within the caves!
the photos probably dun do it justice, but the trummelbach falls's easily one of the most magnificent & mystic work of nature..
scenic view from the caves..
and last but not least, here's our spectacular sleek OPEL Insignia!! (we had a free car upgrade, which was awesome. I'll probably never earn enough to be able to drive this car otherwise)
~gone in a moment..
