When we were planning our Switzerland trip, I was most excited about visiting the Christmas markets that I had heard so much about. We certainly fulfilled my desire to experience these festive markets over the last week, going to a new one almost every day! There are so many of them, and the holiday vibes are at its peak when you’re wandering around these beautiful booths fully decked out in holiday decor. It really is a wonderful place to be to feel the holiday spirit!
For every picture perfect moment on our travels, there are a lot more unglamorous moments that are constantly training our endurance, perseverance, and resilience. Today was a difficult travel day. We had to lug our suitcases in the pouring rain, with an umbrella that didn’t work. 😅Half way into our first bus ride, I realized I left my laptop charger at our host’s home, so we had to go back for it. Then, Bridge and I lost one another not once, but TWICE, at the train station, causing a slight panic between us. After 3 bus rides, 1 train ride, and 1 light rail ride, we barged into a stranger’s home completely soaked (which happened to be unlocked), mistakenly thinking it was the building to the room we rented. The owner was not happy and chased us out, scolding us in German. When we finally arrived to the room we rented, all we could do was flop on the bed and laugh about the day together, while feeling incredibly grateful to have a warm and dry place to be. 😊 It’s days like today that I think both Bridge and I will always look back on with fondness and laughter, even though living through it felt so hard at the moment!
Our last quiet morning in Lucerne, right by the Chapel Bridge. It’s been a rejuvenating few days here, and we’re off to our next destination...Bern, the capital of Switzerland!
Today, we considered taking a train to France. We also considered heading up to nearby Mount Rigi for some sledding...or maybe a day trip to beautiful Interlaken. But we didn’t do any of that. Instead, we slept in, took a leisurely stroll in Old Town, and basked in a perfectly peaceful day reading, chatting, journaling, and having quiet moments by the lake. It turned out to be a perfect day. ❤️
We found a bit of Autumn left here in Lucerne! Switzerland has exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and it’s definitely a country that I will want to return to. It’s picturesque everywhere, and there’s a level of peacefulness and simplicity in this country and it’s people which I have not found elsewhere.
Switzerland, you are just too beautiful! #inlovewithswitzerland
