EU: Traveling Switzerland

Today was a day of complete travel with our destination being Zermatt. Since our first train didnt leave until past noon, we were able to sleep in and have a late brunch. The scenery here is gorgeous!!

Lake Luzern (in Brunen)

Each train was an adventure, as our first train (Zurich) had an 11 minute layover, and our 2nd (Visps) had only 8 minutes! When the connecting train is across the station, it can become quite memorable! Praise God, we were able to make each train, and safely arrived in Zermatt mid-evening.

Daniel and I saw a real life avalanche! (this was after the great fall...)

Riding the trains reminds me of 'Treasures in the Snow'. (If you haven't watched it, watch it....). Did I tell you I like trains?! ;P They're amazing...

We all ate at this Fondue place for dinner... My siblings LOVE fondue... I keep being gone when they have it, and so this was my first experience... And, an 'experience' it was. =) It's very rich (being cheese, though chocolate fondue is the same way)... I guess I'm more of a 'meat and veggies' type of girl. :) But it was definitely memorable!

I do have to say though, as much as I like Switzerland and their people (and their Swiss-German ;p), Germany and Bavaria still surpass it... (must be in my blood =D)
