Munster in Bern

We frequented COOP and MIGROS (similiar to a Whole Foods Market with loads of sandwiches and pastries) for lunch and dinner. The restaurants there were just too expensive.

We really enjoyed all of the cities we visited but Zermatt, Yvoire France, and Lucerne were our favorites!

since we vacationed in Switzerland! As we were waiting for our flight to depart, we realized that neither one of us have a watch. We even considered purchasing a $20 watch at the airport but decided against it since we’ll be staying in one of the worlds most popular watch industry. We were hoping we could just use the street clocks, cuckoo clocks, tower clocks that were available – and we did! Yes!

We had a wonderful time visiting Germany, France, and 12 different Swiss towns in 14 days! Yes, we felt like nomads traveling to a new hotel every 2 days but in the end it was worth all of the many days of sore legs and blistered feet.

We took over 700 photos so lets see if i can narrow down to two to three favorite photos for every city we visited.

We landed in Zurich on our first day – luggage got lost so we spent the day exploring the city.

Lake Constance, Germany to attend a friends wedding on the Bodensee.

We visited the towns magestic Munster Cathedral.

Touring Basel by using the itour – a visual and audio self guided tour around the city. What a great device if you’re interested in learning the cities history and architecture.

Beautiful stain glass windows in the late Romanesque Munster

I took this photo from an small opening from one of the towers.

We took the ferry from Lucerne to Vitznau
