  • Our Swiss Alps Honeymoon..

    isn’t until another 2 months but here are some photos I found by googling. We’ll be traveling around Germany/Switzerland then joining our friends (I am her MOH) on Lake Constance for their wedding.

    Here’s our tentative itinerary. We’re still tweaking it, adding adventures and picking hotels so its still a work in progress. We’re working with Lydia Jaeger from Belle Vue Travel (Certified Switzerland Specalist). She’s great and really knows Switzerland / Germany well.

    We plan to do some hiking, visit local museums, and eat some hearty meat and potatoes!

    Thursday – Depart USA

    Friday – Arrive in Zurich

    Friday – Return From Geneva via Zurich to USA

    We purchased a Swiss Rail Pass so we could travel around Switzerland during our trip. These trains offer spectacular and scenic views through the countryside. They also have these cool “panoramic views” which offer huge windows that sweep halfway across the ceiling for better views.
