In Switzerland, the staggering beauty is so much more than visual. Subhanallah, i hardly get enough, hardly takes my eyes off to see the views outside the window (unless we fall asleep)
it was a memorable roadtrip with Haziq's family touring Switz and Germany 23th June- 2nd July, starting from Olomouc-Prague-Lucerne-Brienz-Interlaken-Zermatt-Montreux-Rheinfalls Zurich-Neuschwanstein Bavaria-Munich-Prague
The mention of Switz evokes hyperbolic images of expansive grasslands, wooden chalets, tiny villages, and picturesque skiing slopes- but for once, these images are an apt representation of truth. Subhanallah, if there is one country that is blessed with natural beauty, it is Switzerland (New Zealand 2nd hehee).
Switz is very well connected by train, its easy to visit any of these villages by public transport, but its our fondness for family road trip don't you? It is the flexible that a car offers is tough to beat *hehe* . It was a good opportunity for me to get to know Haziq's family. oh dear, they're so hilarious. we had more than enough laughs everyday. Haziq is a very family man (extra points! haha). yang lain tak mauk cerita. haha, back to our roadtrip, Haziq, Faiz took turn to drive from Prague to our first destination, Zug. We stayed for a night at Zug Youth Hostel

Yes indeed, Switz are just beyond expectations, we went through Alpine villages, stunning lakes, and so much more.One simple sentence that i can describe about the places we've been to
Day 1
LUCERNE - The impressive Chapel bridge
BRIENZ - charming mountains at the eastern end of turquoise-coloured Lake Brienz
Day 2
INTERLAKEN - 'town between the lakes' which is Thun and Brienz
Day 3
ZERMATT - The idyllic village at the foot of the famous Matterhorn
Day 4 (final day in Switzerland)
MONTREUX - fairy-tale Chillon Castle on the banks of Lake Geneva
RHEINFALLS , ZURICH-
dramatic, the shear force and violent torrent of the biggest waterfall in Europe
and we stayed for 2nights at this one awesome apartment in Sion, xde gambar kenangan, da terdelete, i iz saddd
Day 5 (we stayed for a night in Munich)
Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria Germany -
the castle that inspired Walt Disney's home for Cinderella
Just to highlight this one interesting places we've been to,
Zermatt, this is one romantic village , which is right out of a fairy tale. I've been waiting for this moment, to meet the majestic Matterhorn as nearest as i could. Zermatt is a free car area, so we went there by shuttle train which departs every 15 to 30mins. Zermatt is definitely my favourite village in Switzerland. Sun-kissed wooden chalets from 16th to 17th centuries, cobblestoned alleys, and luxurious boutiques hotels dominates this place, so why not to fall for. i was a bit down when i couldn't hike up to see Matterhorn as near as i could, since we're walking with Haziq's folks; but i spoke to a couple who came from Belgium, they told me that we're so lucky that we came during that day because Matterhorn appeared himself elegantly. Few days before, it was terrible day for visibility, he (Matterhorn) didn't want to show himself. Alhamdulillah, i sat down for a while and think how lucky i am that Allah grants my wishes to see Matterhorn. T_T
thanks Haziq and Ayub's clan for having me around, banyak belanja lak tu T_T banyak sangat kenangan best mihihi.
