My visit with Switzerland was short, yet relatively sweet. Swiss chocolates and fondue landed in between my sceneic drive just southeast of Lake Lucerne. Merely picking a squiggly road on the map, I set out with neither cheese nor chocolate but found the sweet Swiss landscape instead.
I continued to drive amidst tiny villages with girls selling cheese on the side of the road and cows, lots and lots of cows. The cows in Switzerland seem to possess the same attitutde as the Swiss. They crowded the road and didn’t seem to care. Not even honking could move them. They are Swiss cows afterall.
As the road narrows even more, I take a quick look down to see waterfalls cascading off of jagged rocks and patches of snow here and there. Signs continue to caution this is a dangerous road, where deaths occur frequently. I keep my eyes back on the road but ever so often sneak a glimpse of the postcard ready Swiss scenery before me. It may not be the Matterhorn, but it’s Switzerland just the same.
For some reason all I can think about is Swiss chocolate after reading this post LOL.
Seriously, Switzerland might be the most beautiful place on earth. I had the best chocolate of my life there at a small no-name shop run my two sisters. That is reason enough for me to want to go back!
I love Switzerland, so full of natural beauty! I lived there in a small village in the alps for a few months last winter, I’d love to go back there and experience summer, it seems beautiful!
Beautiful photos Suzy. I ended up skipping switzerland on my first trip and instead ended up in Italy. Hopefully I’ll get there this coming year.
What month were you there? Beautiful pics!!!
