Switzerland

there is one thing i forgot to say about Paris that i really want to share with all of you.and that is: i didn't get to see night time when i was in Paris.don't believe me?
look at this picture.this was taken around 9.30PM and it's still so bright.




after we finished eating our dinner(the pizza and carbonara above...yummy) it was still very bright. until we went back to our hotel and sleep already (around 10 .30)it was still bright.and by the time we woke up aorund 5.30 it was so bright again.so i never get to see Paris at "night".

anyway,after Paris we went to Switzerland.the journey from Paris to Switzerland takes about 8 hours by bus.me and brothers was '8 hours!!!??' luckily,there's the beautiful sceneries to keep us awake.





along the way,our tour leader even played a movie for us to watch so we wouldn't get bored.what's the movie??hairspray.not really my favourite though.so in between the journey there will of course be some toilet stops.
all these was taken when we have our stop.


we were suppose to go to mulhouse(pronounce as moo-loose not mul-house)for lunch but time is not on our side,we didn't make it.
we even bought some strawberries at one of the stops somewhere in Basel rest stop.the strawberries there are so big red and sweet(but my mom still find it sour)


the Rhine River.

on our way to the hotel which was situated on top of a hill.kinda forgotten what's the name of this lake.




our hotel.


outside the hotel.a very nice place.




dinner time.appetizer:tomato soup with bread(can't see the tomato soup)main course:fish with rice and veggie.the veggie is very yucky and desert:fruit salad.




a clock tower somewhere around the hotel.


our hotel room


we spent 2 nights in Switzerland.so the next day we went up to Mount Titlis to play snow.WOOHOO!!!to get up the mountain,we have to take 3 rounds of cable car.the first can only fit a maximum of 6 people,the second 80 people and the third which is a rotating cable car can also fit 80 people.my second brother is afraid of heights but still try to act macho in this picture.i manage to take a picture of him looking scared.hehehe




pictures taken while in the cable car.



Mount Titlis-10000 feet.


since we only have a pair of gloves we can't really have a snow fight.so our snow fight was kind of lame where one person throws a snowball at the other person,take off the gloves then pass it to the other person and so on.it was still fun though.snow,let me tell you,looks like the ice when you make ice kacang.me and my second brother was sort of dissapointed thinking 'this is snow????'

my brother throwing snow




movenpick ice cream.my mom kept saying we were crazy.up in the mountain so cold still can eat ice cream.although she kept saying this,she still ate it.lol.
