Spectacular Switzerland

Hello everyone,

As you can see, Switzerland is a stunning country. There is no doubt. We had bad weather (rain, clouds, fog) but the dramatic cliffs and impressive mountains still showed their glory - for five minutes here and there! I loved my time there. We saw so much impressive scenery - I can't imagine how amazing it would have been if the weather was clear and the mountains were displayed in their true grandeur! Mind-blowing, that is for sure.

Some of the highlights were:

- Visiting Geneva, a city that holds so much history for our church; John Calvin was truly an inspirational man!
- Camping at the most impressive camp ground on the planet - there were cliffs in the background and the facilities were incredible!
- Visiting the real Grindewald :)
- Seeing the Swiss houses and shops - all made from wood panels and logs - so cool!
- Hiking and seeing mountains peek out from behind the clouds now and then
- Staying up at a hostel in the mountains
- Travelling up higher into the mountains in a cable car, which gave us the best views of our trip
- Visiting some glacier waterfalls inside a mountain - the force of the water is unbelievable!

- Driving through and being amazed at what appeared around the corner

Put Switzerland on your list of countries to visit :)

When you see the mountains and you ponder on the beauty of God's creation, there is no doubt that our God is so Mighty, so Powerful and so Loving. He created a beautiful world and we have the privilege of enjoying it. Thanks be to our Loving Father.

P.S. A few less photos this time... having too much fun to spend time on a computer!

This was taken up the top of Schilthorn - one of the higher points in Switzerland. The mountain peaks are amazing, aren't they!

The hiking trails in Switzerland are so well marked! This is an example of a sign on our Mountain View Trail walk. The fog was our constant companion that day...

The AMAZING cliffs! I nearly walked into posts, fences and many other objects as a result of spending so much time gazing up rather than concentrating on walking :) I'm sure you'd do the same!

Our poor little tent - battered by endless nights of rain. Tent, you did a marvellous job of keeping us dry! Well done :)

One of the many stops we made along the road to capture a stunning view. A moment of clear weather - a FANTASTIC photo opportunity that was too good to be missed! Thanks, Kylie, for the jumper, it kept me nice and warm while I was in your favourite country :)
