Switzerland... 瑞士: 10 Dec 2007 (Monday): Interlaken
http://lohky-switzerland.blogspot.com/2007/12/10-dec-2007-monday-interlaken.html
10 Dec 2007 (Monday): Interlaken. We joined the optional tour to go up to Jungfraujoch, a much-talkabout place. It cost us CHF185 (including lunch). It is known as the "Top of Europe" - not the highest peak, but the highest point reachable by a train. The famous red train that climbs through a tunnel, through the mountain! It passes by Eiger, Monch and eventually Jungfrau. When approaching the base station, we were amazed by the christmasiee view. So beautiful, so postcard like! The well-known Swiss bank?

Our Accommodation in Switzerland (8-11 Dec). For the 1st night (8 Dec), we put up at Astoria Hotel. It was a quick check-in check-out thing.

Best Western group). wondering. it's 2* or 3*? The mattresses were even softer and the beds were lower than the ones in the previous hotel. Miso soup and white rice.

Paris Revisited.巴黎之旅 (III). Our Accomodation in Paris. Novotel Accor, Le Bourget. 12-15 Dec) Room 242. Not accessible by public transport.

Standard items. oh yes, really stuck to the time given by the tour leader. not earlier than what's arranged. even if you were very hungry! A bathroom with door that cannot be closed! Paris, Banks of...

11 Dec 2007 (Tuesday): Interlaken - Bern - Geneva. This medieval city (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983) was our first stop for the day. See, the ground looks different, right? Hey, it reminded me of Toledo, Spain. The Rose Garden was suppose to be the selling point, being the home to more than 200 types of roses, 200 types of irises and moor beds with 28 different types of rhododendrons. (Ah ha! Then, in the city centre, we also saw some of the over 100 fountains. Also, we tasted. Right...

Paris Revisited.巴黎之旅 (III). 13 Dec 2007 (Thursday): Paris. On Day 7, we had a local guide for the Paris city tour. He was more interested to reciting what he had in his. Rather than engaging us in the commentary! In fact, for a couple of times, he was rather impatient and. Just like the teacher expecting the class to sit down quietly to listen (er. I think. Would be more appropriate here! Well, not many of us have background knowledge of France. henceforth. most people were. Gone with the wind. Among the...
