Jason and I dragged 2 kids and 2 senior citizens all over the place! We must have changed trains 20 times. We walked over 7 miles each day. We stayed in 3 different hotels in 3 different cities in 3 nights (and, therefore, dragged our luggage just about everywhere with us). We saw mountains, lakes, vineyards, factories, and castles. I have to give lots of credit to Aidan, Lainey, Mamaw and Papaw...they all kept up the pace!
We all had a great time. I never knew what a beautiful wine growing region there is around Lake Geneva. I also didn't realize how different Geneva is from Zurich-much more modern and metropolitan! And, the piece de resistance...the Matterhorn. Unbelieveably beautiful. Breathtaking, really.
I could go on and on, but I think I'll just let these pictures say a few thousand words...
Being cheesy at the Gruyere Cheese Factory
Hiking through the vineyards in Chebrexs along Lake Geneva
Chateau de ChillonYes, this is a real place! It is unbelievable. It is the most famous castle in Switzerland and the castle written about in the poem by Lord Byron, "The Prisoner of Chillon"
We did a tour of the UN headquarters. No meetings were being held as it was Saturday, though.
Mamaw and Papaw in Geneva.
In Zermatt, the Matterhorn is almost visible in the background. It was unbelieveably hot this day (almost 90 degrees!) in Zermatt, but there was still lots of snow up in the mountains!
The Matterhorn. No description necessary. Wow.
This kid is too cool!
