Switzerland | Geneva

After checking into our hotel at Geneva, Evelyn and I went straight out to look for dinner. Settled for this really cosy pub/bistro and finally had cheese fondue (it's switzerland! Duh we had to have cheese fondue at least once). We both knew that we wouldn't be able to finish one serving each and since day 1 we have always wanted to just order 1 portion to share and order other main courses, so that we wouldn't get to sick of the taste. However, all the restaurants we asked only served cheese fondue in 2 servings and above. This was our last chance and YAYE they do serve just 1 serving. So of course we had to order it! We shared ribs too and I had pear and lemon sorbet for dessert. Oh the sorbet. It was amazing I almost went for a second serving.
Spent the next morning walking around Geneva before it was time to head to the airport. It was a Sunday morning and the streets were pretty empty. We walked towards the lake, and then we saw people swimming. IN THAT FUCKING COLD WEATHER. SWIMMING. Kudos to them haha. And I was glad I got to practice my French a little too haha.

And that's it for our 4d3n Switzerland trip, thanks for reading!

Switzerland | Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe


Ah finally. We got to go up to Jungfraujoch. Took the first train up and it was soooo beautiful (even on the way up). It was so fucking windy up there, I/m so glad I didn't get blown away lol. Hair was whipping all over my face where ever I turned and it was so cold (-7degcel). I refused to wear my glove on one hand because I wanted to take loads of photos and after a while I couldn't feel my toes either LOL. I wore soooo many layers of clothes and felt like a dumpling, I couldn't even bend my elbow properly haha. But seriously, the view was worth all of it.
Planned to visit a castle that day because I didn't expect the train up to Jungfraujoch would not operate due to the wind and we had to go again the following day, so we didn't have enough time for the castle in the end. I was super bummed, ohwell. Took (several) trains to Geneva from Interlaken and gosh did the journey take eons lol.

More about Geneva in the next post, thanks for reading!
