It was like a dream.Every weekend we went out to explore the beauties of nature.This weekend we went to Jungfraujoch(top of europe);on the next we started walking aimlessly on the hills above Montreux and reached Glion;then for the coming weekend we planned to escape into the tranquility of Zermatt;after a weeks rest, we started for the medieval castle above Gruyers to attend a folk festival...At that time,neither of us had a cellphone.We didnt have internet in our home.There was no question of car;we didnt know the ABC of driving.
I used to collect free Brochures from the Montreux tourist office which were given in abundance...read them,decide where to go,find out train hours from SBB-CFF timetable,decide whether we can return the same day,if not book hotel (again from brochures)through phone.Yes,in switzerland,you can book hotels on phone without giving your credit card number. They will keep the bed ready for you.But if you wont go,you should do the courtsey of cancelling it on phone again.If not done you would be rebuked on phone and reminded of your manners.
Of all these journeys,I will tell you today of the one that is haunting my dreams for the last few days...
A trip to Ticino,the southern part of Switzerland.We aimed to go to Lugano and Bellinzona and explore the virgin beauty of the Blenio valley...
Wait for my next Blog and let me know your thoughts
