On Thursday, we did a day trip south of Lucerne, down to Lake Lungern, Interlaken and Spiez. Breath-taking scenery -- it was everything we think of when we think of Switzerland.
Well, here's an interesting phenomenon. For the meteorologists amongst us -- please explain.
The longest of the many tunnels through the mountains was 5.2 km!
And for the geologists amongst us, please explain: was it a glacier that created this valley, or what?

The milky green-blue water reminded us of the beautiful lakes in New Zealand. (Up close, the water is crystal clear.)
And here's a photo of a photo of the real thing ...
Clearly, we were happy to be there!
Lunch in Interlaken.
How many chalets have been fitted into the garden of this chalet?
The Swiss are known to be neat and tidy, but is this just a little 'over the top' for stacking fire wood?
The valley was created by a river. Rivers created V-shaped valley and glaciers created U-shaped valleys.

ReplyDeletePorto Palermo in Albania is a small but beautiful bay, where the water is so clear it looks like the boats are floating. The bay also has a historical value do to the fact that Ali Pashe Tepelena built a fortress that stands between the sea and the mountains in the perfect spot to distinguish the enemies during the war.
