Interlaken Town

Probably a touristy thing to ride on the horse carriage around the town

Gruyères Town

After visiting the cheese factory, our Day Six morning continues in the quiet town of Gruyères.






We were almost reaching Château de Gruyères (Gruyères Castle)

Sculptures outside the castle building


Hardly anyone on the street





St. Moritz Town

After dinner at Hotel Bären, it's time to digest the food with a slow walk around St. Moritz town.

Lake St. Moritz



Along our way back to the hotel, we came across these sheep grazing on the grassy hillside.


Curious sheep looking at us

Vaduz Town

After visiting Appenzell Town, we boarded the coach and made our way to Vaduz Town, the capital of Principality of Liechtenstein.

Along the street of the small Vaduz town, there are a few art sculptures such as this one.


There's a shop (near the coach parking area) that sells many really cute wooden Christmas ornaments.

Appenzell Town

I just came back from a family trip to the beautiful Switzerland (plus a little bit of Italy)! We joined the Cosmos tour, where we travelled with English-speaking tourists from all over the world. Day One was actually just free-and-easy at Zurich, after the tour guide picked us from the airport and checked us into the hotel (Novotel Zurich City West).

Day Two started with breakfast at the hotel. When checking out, we only need to leave our luggage outside our rooms, then they will be carried and loaded on the bus. And it's the same when we check in to the next hotel... we do not need to carry our own luggage from the coach, they will be delivered to our rooms shortly after we settle into our rooms. I wonder if this is the practice for Switzerland tours generally or it is Cosmos that provide such good service.

Our very first stop was at Appenzell Town - a quiet little old town.




The town has interesting shop signages...




...and a pretty cemetery:
