| mum and flowers can never be separated |
 |
| cuckoo clocks |
 |
| swiss army knife the cheapest one i found is CHF20 |
 |
| watches |
 |
| where else you can walk around town with that view.. |
 |
| people usually go to interlaken/lauterbrunnen for one of two reasons: schilthorn or jungfrau. schilthorn is famous for being a james bond movie shooting location, jungfrau is top of europe. i chose schilthorn because some say the view is better, and also it's significantly cheaper :) |
 |
| small stopover on the way to schilthorn - already 2677 m! |
 |
| so many skiers |
 |
| cable car possibly one good thing about the whole ride up being foggy, you can't see just how high up you are.. anyone with fear of heights? :P |
 |
| nearing the top, when the clouds finally clear |
 |
| schilthorn |
 |
| the alps! |
 |
| on the train ride from lucerne to interlaken -- this picture was taken somewhat at the midpoint of the journey |
 |
| we traveled on the goldenpass line, a scenic ride, as they say. lucerne to interlaken took 2 hours, full of sceneries like these. mountains and fields and lakes and rivers. many more pictures but we were traveling on a train, so they are quite blurry :( |
 |
| lake brienz, with its water so blue.. |
 |
| interlaken ost (east) to lauterbrunnen on a train took another half hour |
 |
| the view when we arrived - foggy. i was so scared that we wouldn't be able to see anything on our trip to schilthorn :( |
 |
| the famous staubbach falls, most prominent waterfall in lauterbrunnen. sadly it's closed in early spring, or else i would've gone exploring behind the waterfall :( |
 |
| the big arch in front of lucern bahnhof. |
 |
| this picture is really interesting to me. we just spent a restless night in basel euroairport: arrived the night before and took an early train out of basel to lucerne. basically we haven't showered in a day and haven't had enough sleep. luggage were kept at a left luggage, where we had to find CHF 7 in coins to use the lockers!! this really frustrates me. |
 |
| this view is really worth it though. the water is crystal clear and blue. switzerland and their clear waters.. i could drown in them |
 |
| took early boat out to vitznau |
 |
| this piece of paper covers all transportation in switzerland for 3 consecutive days, be it bus, train, boats, etc. mine costs EUR146. yes, it's a bomb (i still cry remembering the pain when paying for this) but it takes my mind off worrying about catching trains. |
 |
| mama enjoying the view. she's really happy the whole time we were here :) |
 |
| i would guess that this is a compass and not a clock. at centraal station |
 |
| this costs 13.50 euro. makes more sense if you try to go to two or more out of town places. my suggestion: zaanse schans and volendam, and if you think you can, squeeze marken in your itinerary as well :) |
 |
| imagine having a house like that.. zaanse schans is a 40-minute bus ride from central amsterdam, so you go out to the village a bit |
 |
| they use these clogs everywhere, from day to day work and also on special occasions like wedding :) |
 |
| this building is pretty. |
 |
| so many bikes in amsterdam, so parents take their kids in this 'wheelbarrow'. so cutee |
 |
| not as much people crowded around the sign, so managed to take a pic or two :) |
 |
| people play in and out of the water fountain. this is such a cool place to hang out |
