Back from the land of the sunny snow and evian lakewater

Just came back from Switzerland today, and I must say we had the most perfect weather there- warm sunshine with plenty of snow in the mountains. No wind! No precipitation! Perfect visibility! We were actually staying at Geneva but we bought train passes (very expensive!) and went city hopping the second day, in a Start!-Lausanne-Montreux-Bern-Zurich-Go back sleep! kind of order. Lausanne and Montreux have endless postcard views along the beautiful Lake Geneva, while Bern and Zurich provide older and happening-er city atmospheres respectively.

In constrast, we spent our entire third day in winter wonderland Oberland region, which is Interlaken (this town is so called because of its location b/w two lakes) and the mountains ALL AROUND IT. EVERYWHERE MOUNTAIN. EVERYWHERE SNOW. SNOW SNOW SNOW. NICE THICK SNOW, LOOKS LIKE SMOOTH WHIPPED CREAM, LOOKS LIKE ICECREAM, I WANT TO EAT, I WANT TO JUMP INTO ALL OF IT AND BE HAPPY IN THE SNOW! The mountains were incredibly awe-inspirsing, but wah lau man, i more excited by the snowy snow lor, buay tahan, never see so much snow b4, sua ku lah, play snow until like siao like dat. From Interlaken, we took train rides to Lauterbrunnen (797m) where we cycled for hours in the glorious scenaries around us, before discovering we are too late to take the special ride to Jungfraujoch (3454m), the highest train station in Europe. Its ironic because I was put off by the hefty price of 100 over francs just for that 2 hr ride up, but when I decided to go for it, we discovered we just missed the last ride while we were at lunch. Chee bong. Anyway we went as high up as we could for free with our train passes to Murren (1624m) and Grindelwald and it was all pretty. Except for the violent snowfights and a phallic snow shape handmade by my fren. Wush.
