Monday wasn’t the best day on our trip…we spent 5 hours on the train and the towns we visited were…well, a little disappointing. Interlaken, a fabulous summer resort, was pretty dead. A few shops were open, but that’s about it. We then proceeded up the mountain to Murren, a little ski town–which unfortunately was even more dead than Interlaken.

Fortunately, we ended the night with a pleasant surprise: Luzern! After a day of seeing nobody, we were so thrilled to see lots of buildings, lights, and people! We spent the night at the Magic Hotel and got “upgraded” to an Egyptian resort.

On Tuesday, we created our own little walking tour where we visited the castle walls, saw the Glacier museum, and checked out the boutiques. We then headed over to Zurich and spent the afternoon checking out the high-end malls and shops–all out of our price range, of course.

Lastly, we thought it would be “fun” if we ran the last mile back to train station. OK, so it was totally not fun. We were hot, sweaty, and we totally missed the train by ONE MINUTE! Diane was quite upset at me (for good reason).

Lots of snow, but that’s about it…
