Made it to Switzerland!

Finally made it to Switzerland, the long way around via Milan! On my last morning in Milan, I visited da Vinci's Last Supper. It is a lovely painting, smaller than I thought, I expected it to be narrower and longer. Unfortunately, you only get 15 minutes in there, as you have to book at time, they only let 25 people in at once.

I then caught a train to Bern, where I spent a day and a half exploring. I stayed in the Old City, it is lovely. All the buildings are green, with covered archways, lots of fountains, alleys to explore. There is also a Bear Park, for which the city is named after (it was named for the first animals which was killed in the area in the 12th century or so, which happened to be a bear.)

I then caught a train to Lucerne, and have spent the last two days exploring the mountains-yesterday Pilatus in perfect weather, clear blue sky, no wind, views for miles, and today Titlis, in almost no visibility to absolutely no visibility, cold and windy-such a difference.

I love Swiss mountains, have been sledging, snow tubing (sit on a car tyre type thing and go down a slalom with no contol, eg backwards, sideways spin round-sooo much fun!!), some random plastic seat which was about 10 cm thick (dont know what it was, but it was great fun going down the hills!!! Also been on a revolving cable car, that felt a bit weird, but got good views of the whiteout conditions, I'm sure it would have been even better with good visibility. Wandered a snow cave under a glacier-lit in beautiful colours.

View from Mount Pilatus-what cant I say, took my breath away

View from Mount Titlis-I did see some moutains when the weather cleared for about 10 seconds. I snapped a couple of pictures and it was gone!

View coming down Mount Titlis-was a little creepy, there was nothing!
