Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: Back in Switzerland: Geneva, Montreux, Chateau de Chillon, Zermatt

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/12/back-in-switzerland-geneva-montreux.html

Saturday, December 29, 2007. Back in Switzerland: Geneva, Montreux, Chateau de Chillon, Zermatt. We arrived in Geneva very late at night, and luckily, just caught the last train leaving the airport and into the city. We arrived, hungry and wouldn’t you know it, there was a Chinese restaurant with karaoke right underneath our hotel, where we both enjoyed the most expensive (roughly 35 francs total), mediocre, Chinese meal ever. Walked for about a mile along Lake Geneva:. We did a self guided tour of the i...

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: Paris: Day 2

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/12/paris-day-2.html

Sunday, December 09, 2007. When we woke in the morning, we hopped on the metro and took a 20 minute ride outside the city, where along the way we passed the Statue of Liberty, a smaller version of the real thing (sorry, we were moving too fast and were too far away to snap a picture of it). After getting off our stop and walking a couple of blocks, we saw the palace and one world could sum it up it best:. But that doesn't mean I didn't try. The hall of mirrors:. Painting of Napolean's Coronation:. Aren&#...

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: London: Day 1

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/04/london-day-1.html

Monday, April 02, 2007. London was the first leg of our final trip in Europe. We planned on flying to London, then to Paris, and finally to Geneva and taking the train back to St. Gallen. Other highlights from the museum included the Rosetta Stone:. After being told the museum was closing and ushered off several times (there was just too darn much to see), we roamed around the streets and at night's end, found ourselves at a pub, where I ordered one of my favorite drinks, snake-bite and black.

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: London: The Cornish Pasty

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/04/london-cornish-pasty.html

Saturday, April 21, 2007. London: The Cornish Pasty. So on a cold night, Waverly and I spotted the Cornish Bakehouse, and we of course had to indulge ourself - the sign did say "award winning" after all. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the Cornish pasty and fish and chips more than the pig knuckle we had in Germany. British food is great. Better than I expected. On the contrary, German pig knuckle didn’t quite meet my expectation. Sunday, April 22, 2007 3:03:00 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: London: Day 2

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/04/london-day-2.html

Friday, April 20, 2007. With this being our only full day in London, day 2 was jammed pack with good old English excitement. Our fist stop was Westminster, where we strolled along the river, with the London Eye across the water and Big Ben straight ahead. Before we reached Westminster, I had the sudden urge to make a phone call while holding the phone booth door open:. See the coronation chair. After doing the usual Tower of London things. Posing in front of the Bloody Tower (or at least the sign for the...

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: Paris: Day 4 - Last Day

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/12/paris-day-5-last-day.html

Monday, December 10, 2007. Paris: Day 4 - Last Day. Our last day in Paris was a relaxing one. We decided to revisit two spots we saw at night but not during the day; Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. It was a gorgeous day, the sun was out, and definitely made up for yesterday's winter chill. It was only fitting to see Paris' two greatest sites with the sun reflecting beautifully off it. And not to mention, it made for great photos:. First time escargot for me! Thursday, December 13, 2007 1:00:00 PM.

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: Paris: Day 1

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/06/paris-day-1.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. Our easyJet flight, much delayed, arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport pretty late into the night. We took a train into Paris, transfered once at a station, and miraculously found the right line to our hotel. After we got out of the metro, we had a hard time finding the street our hotel was located and was forced into the unfortunate situation of roaming the streets of an unfamiliar city at night with our luggage, looking very much like. It was already dark, and we decided to take ...

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: Paris: Day 3

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/12/paris-day-3.html

Sunday, December 09, 2007. Cold, wind, and outdoor walking does not make the best combination. We experienced that first hand on our third day. We first went to the Arc de Triomphe, where we scaled 284 steps to the top and although that doesn't sound like a lot of steps, try telling that to Waverly. At the top, we took in a 360 degree view of Paris, albeit under fog. It was eventually closing time at the museum, and I couldn't resist a night shot of the glass pyramid (who was that architect again Waverly?

Swisslicious: a blog about 3 months in Switzerland: London: Day 3

http://swisslicious.blogspot.com/2007/05/london-day-3.html

Monday, May 07, 2007. Our final day started off with us delightfully leaving our hotel, which in 3 weeks will be met with a wrecking ball - and it couldn't have happened sooner. After dropping off our bags at the front desk and paying 5 pounds for the privilege (the first hotel in Europe we've stayed at that charges for that), we hoped onto the tube and headed towards the the City to check out St Paul's Cathedral and the financial district. Bobby, who pointed us in the right way. We then proceeded to tak...
