Today we made our way to Switzerland! I was very excited throughout
because in my head, this was the highlight of the trip! I had always
wanted my parents to visit two places...like I felt that they MUST
visit these two places. They were Paris, my most favourite city in the
world and Switzerland, my most favourite scenic destination in the
world! After the successful completion of the Paris trip, I was really
looking forward to Switzerland. And Switzerland didn't disappoint,
once again! But before that I must also mention that the first half of
the day spent in Germany was pretty good too! Here's the list of what
was most enjoyable.
a) The lovely drive through the German Black Forest.
b) The adorable cuckoo clock shop in the centre of the Black Forest
and the fascinating cuckoo clock demonstration.
c) Having the yummy Black Forest cake in the Black Forest.
d) The magnificent landscapes that greeted us as soon as we entered
Switzerland - the rolling pastures, the forests, the quaint villages
with their pretty houses, etc. that continued from the last portion of
Germany but also the Alps making its mighty presence felt slowly.
e) The boat ride at the Rhinefalls and being super close to the falls.
f) The beautiful rainbow at the bottom of the Rhinefalls!
g) Enjoying a cup of Masala Chai at the Rhinefalls (that snackbar even
had pav bhaji and vada pav, believe it or not!)
h) The awesome drive from Rhinefalls to the stunning village of
Hasliberg. Our hotel room there is hands down the most beautiful place
I have ever stayed in! With a direct view of the snow covered Alps and
distant valleys, and a balcony to enjoy the sights from, it was just
perfect!
i) Watching the parents' reaction as they stared open mouthed at the
unbelievably scenic beauty in front of them as we made a quick
photo-stop in one of the several scenic viewpoints on the way to
Hasliberg. And also watching them squeal with delight when they
realized what incredible rooms they were to stay in Hasliberg.
