Nature in Switzerland is amazing
Everything is too expensive
Itinerary Overview
I arrived Geneva by train from Germany. I explored 10 days at Geneva while I'm doing workaway. I went to a cute cozy cafe, swam in river in the middle of the city and bought a lot of chocolates at grocery stores. After that I went to Brienz by trains to enjoy nature. I stayed there for two nights three days.
Geneva To enjoy city life in Switzrland
1+Geneva had a beautiful lake in the middle of the city which I liked about. Everything was expensive but people were pretty nice and cute cozy cafes were everywhere. If you go to grocery stores, you will find so many varieties of chocolates. My favorite grocery store was Migros.
Brienz Alps and diesel locomotive
1+Swiss Alps were speechless. They were huge, beautiful and indescribable. Trains to get there were pretty expensive but it was so worth it. I rode a famous red diesel locomotive to enjoy and take in the views of Swiss Alps. Also there are very beautiful lakes where you can swim too. I couldn't hike this time but I'd love to hike in the Alps next time.
