We left on Saturday morning, around 6 AM. Blah indeed. The trip seemed to take forever. It was hot, and there was some traffic. But the BF and I had loads of fun in the car :-) And when we arrived in Vissoie, it was all worth it. The view from the cabin was just breathtaking!
I'm not going to bore you with a detailed story of what we did and where we went, I'm just going to give you the highlights.
-How to keep your drinks cool, Swiss style:
-Raclette, locally made!
-Hiking up a mountain (700m ascent), to that white building you can see at the top:
-I was so proud for doing it, even though I looked like hell:
-But it was all worth it, because they served an amazing blueberry pie!
-And we did a hike towards a glacier!
-No, you're not allowed to swim here.
-Really not! (this lake feeds a huge reservoir which is used for hydro-electricity. They open up valves as needed, so it's not smart to swim here. And you'd freeze as well, the glacier feeds this lake directly)
-Edelweiss!
-Real Swiss cheese fondue (so tasty, this one was with two kinds of mushrooms)
-The best chips in the world :-)
It was a lot of fun. I got a lot of reading done as well, had some fantastic quality time with my BF and his parents, saw some amazing sights, celebrated the Swiss national holiday with fireworks and got a bit of a tan! Too bad it all went by so fast!
