Switzerland: Vacation and Bucket lists

Well, I'll try to be brief.

Highlights of Switzerland:

Zurich: Relaxation
Rainy, Shopped, ate Swiss fondue and Swiss chocolate (not much to do in Zurich).

Interlaken: Adventure
Climbed (er, rode) to the top of a mountain
Hiked in the Alps
Stayed in a Swiss chalet on the lake with cows for neighbors
Paraglided
Bungee-jumped (from the second highest bungee jump in the world! Bucket list: check.)






Lausanne/Montreux/Gruyere: Indulgence
Walked through the vineyards of Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage Site!)
Took a wine-tasting tour
Visited the Chateau de Chillon (Chillon Castle)
Admired French architecture
Basked in the sun by Lake Geneva
Rode scenic trains through mountains and colored trees
Saw a cheese-making factory and the Nestle chocolate factory (yep, gained a few kilos here)





A great way to end my trip. Home was only 3 plane rides and 24 hours away! I'll try to give a post-trip update soon. Cheers!
