Ahhh Switzerland..

She says with an awe struck sigh. What a beautiful, beautiful place. From the train, to the streets, to the attractions (of course) there is never a time you’re not looking at an incredible view! Admittedly the gorgeous scenery comes at a cost – being the second most expensive country in the world – but for 2 days it was manageable . 
Staying in a smaller town called Lauterbrunnen my favourite thing to do while here was the zipline! Starting at the top of one of the alps, then flying at up to 80km/h down! Very fun! Then hiking the top of said alps to a nearby lake, then back down towards the nearest town, the views were amazing, but the next day my legs were feeling not -so amazing. BUT, back at it again the next day by taking a cruise on the 14kmx3km Brienzersee lake from one end to the other, to hike to the waterfall! The water being so blue it looked fake! It was a pristine country to enjoy for a couple of days. 
Combined 33,000 steps, 2 very sore legs, and next is Barcelona!

Breathtaking waterfalls everywhere 

My sore legs were worth the 3 hour hike
