DAY 9 & 10 (23rd and 24th September 2022) St. Gallen, Zurich and Goodbye After breakfast at our AirBnb unit, we packed up for our final journey all the way back to Zurich. It was a long, uneventful three-and-a-half hour train ride. It was “uneventful” only because in the last week or so, we had […]
DAY 8 in SWITZERLAND
DAY 8 (22nd September 2022) Zermatt (Gornergrat) After doing the 5-Lake Trail the previous day, today we would go to the other famous location in Zermatt.

DAY 2 (16th September 2022) – Lucerne (Mt. Pilatus and City Centre) We were certainly much fresher for the adventure of this new day, after calling it an early night the night before.
