Arrived in Switzerland and what can I tell you... It is breathtakingly beautiful. The photos don't even do it justice. It's so relaxed and the weather was amazing. For our first dinner we had Swiss cheese fondu for entree and bratwurst for main.
Today we went into Lucerne (about an hour by train) and looked at the beautiful bridges (first covered bridges in Europe) which had amazing paintings in the arches with one bridge depicting the stories of the bible and the second bridge pictures of what they believed hell to be like to ensure people didn't stray from the churches.
We also went to the Lion monument which is an amazing detailed lion carved into a rock face which represents the fallen Swiss Guards who protected The French and were killed. Very moving piece of art.
We sampled some amazing Swiss chocolate, gelato and cheeses and then went back to our hotel for dinner and games night (cards against humanity!!!)
