Today the hubby and I decided to take a break from the tour and spend some time on our own. The key reason was that we had already been to Lucerne, which was the highlight for the day's trip, a few years ago and so decided that a break from the very exhausting schedule would be good. So while our parents proceeded with the group tour, we stayed back in our super nice Hasliberg hotel. Highlights of the day off:
a) A walk around the sleepy village of Hasliberg in search of its only other open cafe than the one at our hotel, for lunch.
b) A lunch of rabbit fillet, risotto and vegetable with soup, which was the only thing on the menu! I wasn't too keen about the rabbit at first (it felt wrong to eat them and it still does), but I must admit that the meal, especially the risotto was delicious!
c) A ride on the local bus to another village Wasserwendi.
d) A drink at the cafe at Wasserwendi with yet another spectacular Swiss Alps and countryside background.
e) A hike through the walking trail from Wasserwendi to Reuti - my first Alpine hike ever!!! SO awesome!! We passed through the lovely countryside and forests, took loads of pictures of the magnificent Alps and felt on top of the world! I had been wanting to do this for the longest time and finally I got my chance! Yay!!!
f) Another meal of apple strudel, french fries and hot chocolate back in our hotel, again with all the beautiful scenery around!
Totally awesome day altogether!
