Switzerland

I had the opportunity to travel to Switzerland while studying abroad during college, and fell in love with it.  Some friends and I spent Thanksgiving there, in a tiny little chalet in the middle of nowhere and cooked a huge traditional Thanksgiving meal (somehow we managed to find a giant turkey and ingredients for pumpkin pie) and shared all of it with our new Australian friends who were guests at the chalet as well.  We even introduced them to sweet tea…which they didn’t like, of course.  It has always been one of my favorite memories from my time in Europe during college, so I’ve wanted to go back ever since.  Rob’s family is originally from Bern, Switzerland, so he has always had an interest in visiting his “homeland” as well.  So we made our way from Prague via an overnight bus (not recommended) to Bern, and then on to Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne, and Basel.  Lauterbrunnen is where we spent most of our time, camping in a tent by Staubbach Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in Europe.  We froze the first night and woke up to ice on the outside of our tent the next morning, but all went well after that.  The Lauterbrunnen valley actually has over 70 waterfalls, and is such an incredible place.  From the valley you can ride gondolas up to little mountain villages, which we did, and paraglided back down. I think Rob has finally concluded that our time in Switzerland was his favorite.

As mentioned before, most images that I will be posting from our trip are available for print ordering.  If interested, contact me and I can send you my print pricing guide.  Prints can be made up to 30×40 (depending on the photo) and are available printed on regular photo paper, fine art paper, or as a canvas gallery wrap. Check out the photos from the rest of our trip here…Prague, Ireland, Scotland/England, and Iceland.
