Oh, I'm so glad you had a good time.
Thanks for sharing the photos.
They brought back good memories for me.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. I love your Maria imitation! LOL Did you rent a car for all of your traveling or go by rail...or perhaps that's your helicopter in the background? At first I thought the photo of the swimming pool was upside down but then I realized that the ceiling must be reflective.

Beautiful scenery, it wounds like a wonderful trip. Anything you'd do differently?

Hey Sue,
I was just thinking about you & wondering when you'd be home. I left from Zurich yesterday too - maybe we were at the airport together?!

Great pictures. Thanks for posting them. I don't have any pics because I was there to help my sister & family move to a new apartment. Well duh, why didn't I think of this earlier? This is one place where people might enjoy seeing pics of local apartments & how they are decorated.

Wasn't it wild to have those 2 days of 90+ degree temps? Luckily, my sister's apartment was very cool even without air conditioning. But next time, I want to stay at the Baur Au Lac!

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. It is a beautiful place.

maire, yes, that's my helicopter. Ha. We were so high in the mountains one day that we looked DOWN and saw a helicopter flying below us. That was weird. Anyway, we drove most days, but we took the train to the top of Jungfrau (where I'm doing my Maria imitation above) from Interlaken, and we took the train/cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Murren.

Anything I'd do differently... not too much, I think! I'd stay a couple more days in Zurich. When we arrived at our hotel there was a huge flea market across the street. Heaven! I could have stayed there for hours, but we had only one full day so we had to scurry and do other things. Also, I wasn't thrilled with our hotel in Interlaken considering how expensive it was. It was beautiful but the staff was really indifferent -- after being at the Four Seasons, where they practically fell over themselves to take care of us, it was a real change.

The only other issue I had was with the altitude at Jungfrau. We had to cut our visit shorter than planned because I was all loopy. I was okay outside but there are all these tunnels leading to the various areas, and I felt very lightheaded in those interior areas, even in the restaurant. Finally I just had to sit down and zone out. We wanted to go in the ice palace but I just couldn't function. One of my sons had a headache but the rest of the family was fine. Weird how it affects everyone differently. I don't know what, if anything, I could have done to avoid it? It probably didn't help that I had had about 3 hours of sleep the night before because of the heat and the street noise.

Next time, I want to go with just DH (love my kids, but...) and stay in Murren for several days as part of our trip.

Jean, we were on a 5:30 flight from Zurich to Boston.

THe heat on those two days was pretty bad especially when we drove from Geneva to Interlaken with a stop in Bern. We were there at midday and we were just melting, walking around, but we were determined to see some of the city and the Bear Park.

A couple more pics -- DS at Trummelbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen, and DD and me in Murren.

Gorgeous photos. I visited there in college, would love to go back!

Just lovely, it makes me want to go there .

I was on the 10 am flight to Newark so our paths did not cross at the airport. So close, yet so far.

Wow, it's so pretty! I'm glad you had a nice time with your family!

Thanks for sharing. I am totally jealous. :) What camera did you use while you were there? The pictures are stunning.

Heidi! I have always wanted to visit Switzerland! I am glad you had a great time! You DHs company sounds wonderful to work for! and your photos are beautiful.
thanks for sharing.
Sue
