The Swiss Alps
To the left is the tiny country of Liechtenstein, to the right is the giant Switzerland. The mountains themselves tell of the size disparity between the two countries. Most of us have never heard of one while the other is world famous for all sorts of things - Swiss chocolate, Swiss army knives, banking, the Red Cross. With only a couple days to spend here, we intend to make the most of it.
The road to the hotel is long and edged with stunning mountains providing a lush green counterpoint to the intensely blue sky. The Swiss have a practicality that is evidenced even in their roads - when a mountain gets in the way of their path, they simply go through it. The tunnels were never-ending, twisting through the mountains as they curve around the lake to our North.
As we approach our destination, the land opens to reveal a rich tapestry dotted with homes, trees, and fields. The Swiss have built their homes in the flattest parts of the country they found, which still leaves them dotting rolling hills in high valleys. In the distance, what appear to be far off clouds reveal themselves, on closer inspection, to be an even larger mountain range looming over the horizon itself.
Switzerland promises to be a fine adventure, and it's only just began. Thank you for joining me along the way. What fine adventures have you gotten yourself into? Let me know in the comments. For help booking your first (or twentieth) fine adventure, find me at Travel Life Services.
