Zurich was really beautiful. But what I'm here for are the snowy alps!
Did you know that from our room at the Sheraton Zurich, we could see the Swiss Alps. It was so beautiful.
So today we checked out of our hotel, and made our way back to the train station to head towards our next destination, Grindelwald. To the mountains!
We actually managed to squeeze a lunch an another famous Swiss city, Interlaken, en route to Grindelwald. Interlaken is a small city between two beautiful lakes, parked strategically at the base of the Jungfrau mountain range.
The train ride to Grindelwald was just so scenic and amazing, snowy mountains and white pastures everywhere.
We were booked for two nights at the Sunstar Hotel & SPA Grindelwald. VERY RECOMMENDED.
We got a beautiful room with an Eiger Peak view and balcony that didn't disappoint, and the 360 around the whole town was just so surreal, Swiss Alps everywhere.
We had lunch at a supposed Thai restaurant, which served weird curry and fried rice. It was weird in that the food didn't taste Thai at all (more Middle Eastern), but was still quite nice.
We took the chance to take the cable car up to First Peak (just outside our hotel!) to explore for fun, and ended up having so much fun, we stayed till the bar and restaurant up at the peak closed. It was all about mucking around in the snow for the first time as a family, coupled with a scary cliff walk and scenic lookout.
It was also a good thing we clothed ourselves properly (thank you Decathlon and Uniqlo!).
