Switzerland (Interlaken & Jungfraujoch)
Went to Interlaken. As told by guide, its his favourite spot for this whole trip. Certainly one of the nicest! Five Stars Hotel for 2 nights. And also it snowed again! & it's bigger den the one @ Zermatt! =)
The view from the 5 star hotel was perfect! See how nice is it! LOL.... One is day before and one is day after one day of nonstop snowing! LOL... LOVELY! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
They have nice streets. Nice people around the city.
The restaurant boss of the Western food, Bebbies, was nice, cranky, funny and crazy! LOL.... Food just nice, i kinda like the sauce =).
We wanted to try their local fondue the 2nd night but they temporarily close to welcome other tourists for one hour full house.
Anyway, we were amazed that MacDonalds in Switzerland costs $11 per set Swiss.. Its like $14 per set!
My brothers wanted to eat Mac but my dad die die oso dun wan eat... he rather go other restaurant pay $20+... cos he doesnt like Mac. Me too.
The idea of spending $14 per set when u can eat it at $6 per set for the same food irks me! I rather dine at their restaurants at a higher price unless their prices doubled or tripled. We ended up settling at an Italian restaurant for pizza.
The 2nd night we had Italian meals for our dinner... =) Pizza, pasta and all... not bad the food.
Jungfraujoch, top of Europe, switzerland's highest mountain wasnt amazing for winter. Summer guide books printed are so nice! With flowers all over and nice grasspatches. But we went during winter.
It was too cold and snowing. Not exactly cold cos no wind although they put -13.4C. Not cold leh. There are too many clouds and snowing too heavily on the top for us to see anything much. Quite bad.
Its all white! Lucky during our lunch the sun managed to clear the sky and melt some snow.
The lunch at Jungfraujoch is one of the better ones i enjoyed. German sausage! Nice....yummy.... Most sausages in Europe taste good!!!! Juicy & Meaty. =)
