How’s everybody doing? Looking forward to the long weekend I hope! If you have not been following The Chewys closely, we are currently blogging about our 3-week long honeymoon trip in Europe and today, we will be relating our travel experience in Switzerland! You can still catch up on our travelogues about Italy if you have not done so and only if you are interested of course 😛

First, let me bring you back to Milan. Mentioned in our previous post that we did a bit of sightseeing before catching the afternoon train to Zurich, Switzerland. Collected our luggages from the concierge at Hotel Bernina and we walked to Milan Central Station.

Hehehe.. Very sweet and thoughtful of misterchewy to help me lighten my load in every possible way 🙂

Patiently waiting for our train to arrive! After close to 4 hours on the train, we reached Zurich. Omg the feeling was awesome because it was only our 2nd out of 4 countries that we had planned to visit! 😀

As I wasn’t feeling well (again) and was craving for something hot and soupy, we had Vietnamese pho at this small eatery called China Vietnam Shop run by an old Asian couple along Militärstrasse. ₣15 per bowl which is roughly SGD21! Freaking expensive but it was really good and I felt better after dinner. Bought bottled water and juices at a nearby convenience stall before walking back to easyHotel where we stayed for four nights.

Day 10 of our honeymoon trip was spent at Lucerne and Mount Titlis! The husband booked a guided tour with Viator online and we registered by presenting our confirmation email.

All ready to set off! There were a few other tourists in the minivan as well but not everybody booked the tour to Mount Titlis.

We stopped after about an hour’s ride because a number of people in the group had signed up to go to Mount Rigi and the tour guide led them to the train station. Alighted the minivan to stretch our legs for a bit while waiting for the tour guide 😛

Struggling to keep our eyes open because the shine was shining directly at us @_@

Continued our journey and passed by some beautiful Swiss chalet!

We had a bit of time for sightseeing in Lucerne and we went to see the Lion Monument, otherwise known as Lion of Lucerne which commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution.

Right after this shot, a lady from Switzerland Tourism approached us for our contact to do a short online survey after our trip and we were given Swiss chocolates for that 🙂

We were given about 30 to 40 minutes to walk around Lucerne’s Old Town but of course we spent more time taking photos so we didn’t get to walk very far.

The Chapel Bridge on the right is aprobably the oldest wooden bridge in Switzerland, spanning diagonally across the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne.

Continued making our way to Engelberg where we would be taking the cable car to Mount Titlis. We were totally awe-stricken by the beautiful view when we got off the minivan! 😀

At this point, it began to snow a little! We were so excited!

Here is a view of Engelberg as we ascended via the cable car.

We had to take three different cable cars before we could see and feel eternal snow and ice on top of Mount Titlis. The final cable car to the peak is the Rotair.

Inside Titlis Glacier. Actually, nothing much one. Haha. So we hurriedly snapped a couple of photos and went out.

It was snowing big time when we stepped out! Can you imagine how ecstastic we were?! 😀

Silly us started doing jump shots in the snow until one of our tour members told us that the ice flyer would stop operating soon.

Although it was a short walk to the Ice Flyer Chairlift, it was kinda scary because everything was just WHITE and we couldn’t see anything else! The husband almost led the wrong way which was a steep downslope meant for skiers. Ermahgerd! D:

We didn’t take any photos while on the ice flyer because we were freezing and trembling.

Of course, we continued with our jump shots! Not bad right? I still can carry bag and jump. LOLOLOL.

As with all other tours, we didn’t have all the time in the world at Mount Titlis. Our tour guide had briefed everyone on when we should be back in the minivan and we had set a bit of time aside for some winter fun! 😉

We got off somewhere mid slope. There is a huge Omega watch display which looks quite quirky to be seen at Mount Titlis.

Hahaha looks cool but this vehicle is for transporting skiing and snowboarding equipment I think?

The hubby decided to have a go at snow-tubing! 🙂

There is this travelator thingy so there’s no need to climb upslope!

“Wah! Very fun! I wanna go again!” and so he did. Still a kid at heart I suppose 😛

We really had so much fun at Mount Titlis! I think it’s one of my favoritestest places throughout our entire honeymoon trip! I wanna go back to Switzerland! 😀

Ending this post with a scenic view captured on our way down in the cable car. Enjoy the long weekend, chewys! Connect with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 🙂
