Miss the Swiss

Incredible is the only way to describe this past weekends events. I spent the weekend with a couple girls in Geneva, Switzerland. It was THE most amazing trip I have ever experienced, Switzerland is a in a category of its own. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, clean, fresh, & has so much to offer. Myself and the other two girls spent our Saturday doing what most people would dread on a normal weekend, we hiked up Mt. Saleve. It is a mountain of the French Prealps, rising to 1,400 meters overlooking the city of Geneva. We were told before we began hiking that it might be smarter to take the "cable car" up to the top and just walk around, they said most people just enjoy hiking down the mountain. Well, we aren't most people. We began our hike around 11:45 am and got to the top around 2 hours later. It was one of the most incredible experiences, tough, not just physically but mentally. But it was unreal, we made a couple stops up the way and took some breathtaking photos and then continued our journey to the top. We finally arrived and it felt as if we had conquered the world! Up at the top is a nice restaurant and a couple shops but also, is the other end of the cable car. We rode the cable car down taking us a whopping 5 minutes if not less. But totally worth every second of the hike, and experience.

Breathtaking

As the day continued we took a bus back into town where the main city of Geneva is, with its restaurants, shops and sightseeing is. We walked around all day, did some shopping, took TONS of pictures, and just enjoyed what Switzerland had to offer. Saturday night the girls & I, found this French restaurant where we experienced the best of the best...Fondue. Yeah, in the States we have places with Fondue, but I can actually say we had Cheese Fondue where in Switzerland they are glorified for their cheeses. And of course, their chocolate! One word...AMAZING. We went from chocolatier to chocolatier tasting what each shop had to offer and we came to conclusion Hershey's has nothing on Swiss Chocolate that is for sure. Prior to this weekend I had never ever seen myself going to Switzerland to visit but I am SO incredible happy that I did. The people were great, so helpful and nice..if you were able to get across what you were trying to say at least. In Geneva most people speak French...well myself nor the girls spoke French so we had to work with what we could and that was pointing things out on our map. And, to be quite honest we did just fine! It was an unbelievable experience, and something I will remember forever.
