Adventure Continues…

things you need to buy plane tickets

This Swiss adventure continues! First, you will be glad to know I successfully evaded the fly family from the Istlewald hostel. This morning we packed up and got back on the road. The travelogue continues with driving stories and, of course, lots of food.


Highlights below:  


1) The drive on Jaunpass road was wonderful. The road cuts through the middle of Switzerland from German-ish Bernese Oberland to French-ish Gruyere. It’s decorated with a changing landscapes of cows, mountains, and lovely cottages.

2) It also swerves rather dramatically at the beginning. Therefore, the monent we found the Jaunpass road instead of accidentally driving to Italy was certainly a highlight of the day.   

3) We ate fondue twice, in one meal. These are my kind of vacations! (pictures below, obviously)  

4) We discovered the best airbnb property on Lake Geneva. Yes, we drove vertically up a mountain to get there. But it was worth it. Remote-controlled curtains, anyone?  

5) This afternoon, I took a great cap. Vacation or no vacation, naps are the best! Also, remote-controlled bed. Seriously.   

Pictures below!Stay tuned as the adventure continues. Next stop: Lake Geneva boat ride (once we get out of this airbnb driveway, that is. It might take awhile.)
