Switzerland
Sunday, May 13, 2012
Traveled the Inn Valley, up over the Alps and into Switzerland. The ride is meant to be incredibly scenic, but the cloud was low and so the top of the pass was traversed in thick mist. Still it was an incredible journey, three hours to cross the mountain range.
Switzerland is all the stereotypes come true. The houses all look like Cuckoo Clocks, the shops are full of wrist watches and chocolate, and even the cows have bells around their necks.
The city of Zurich holds a large amount of the worlds wealth in vaults beneath its streets. Maybe that explains why everything is incredibly expensive. £12 for a burger, grief.
Spent the day roaming the hills just outside the city. I went up the mountain to look at the view but ended doing a 12 mile walk. Only lost the path once, and ended up in a peat bog. Still all part of the experience. Back to London tomorrow.
