Visiting the Land of Chocolate - Switzerland
We left Paris after an early breakfast and started to Geneva, one of Switzerland's most privileged cities.
We began the visit with a drive to the Palais des Nations (the European Headquarters of the United Nations) and the Musee Ariana. We spent quality time at the tallest fountain in Europe - the magnificent Jet d'Eau and the beautiful floral clock in the Jardin Anglais!
Next day,we went on a excursion to the Jungfrau, the 'Top of Europe', a wonderful world of glaciers
and eternal ice. From Jungfrau we reached the highest altitude railway station in Europe by a charming, red cogwheel train, amid dramatic mountain scenery
We walked on the great Aletsch Glacier - the longest ice stream in the Alps, the glistening Ice Palace,
and the Sphinx Observation Terrace, at 3571 m. In the evening ,same day, there was an exclusive entertainment arranged specially for us. A mountain dedicated to us. Mt. Cox & Kings so exclusive,
that it's only for us . We went uphill in a cable car with a panoramic 360 degree view. There was Disco Dancing and a sumptuous dinner
Next day was Glacier 3000 , an everlasting snow mountain, offering panoramic views of the most beautiful summits of the Alps. We accented by cable car to Scex Rouge (2971m).We missed the special adrenaline ride, the Alpine Coaster due to bad weather. The View Point (stairs) was located directly behind the Restaurant Botta 3000 which had a 360-degree view of the most beautiful alpine peaks - from the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau to the Matterhorn and the 107 meters Peak . There was some snow excursions like Ice Express to ride the snow bus over the glacier, skeing, and gliding on the ice.
Same day evening. we visited the popular holiday resort of Interlaken, cradled cozily between the beautiful Lakes of Brienz and Thun, It was majorly for shopping and we bought lots of chocolates and Swiss knives.
Next day was Lucerne witnessing picturesque mountains, lakes, cowbells, alpine villages and
meadows, the poignant Lion Monument, the covered, wooden Kapellbrucke (chapel bridge), and the ornate Jesuit Church.
