Switzerland!






This weekend we went to Zurich!! Switzerland was amazing, but I don't recommend the overnight train to get there. We were exhausted. After a wild Paris weekend, relaxing near the Alps was perfect. Colleen's parents knew a family in Zurich and they offered to let us stay with them. Henriette is about our age and she met the group at the train station and helped us navigate. We took a ride around the lake with Lindt chocolate and delightful treats called Luxembergelis. We went up to the top of a mountain called Uetiliberg and found an awesome view of the city. On Saturday we tried a high rope course in the tiny town of Atzmanning. Getting up there by train, then bus, then van was interesting! The Grimmels treated us to a real Swiss cheese fondue dinner that night with Movenpick ice cream. Mmm mmm good! On Sunday it was back to Maastricht to study and prep for the week. Zurich might just be my favorite spot so far this trip!
