Switzerland

We finished our last night in Barelona, because it had been raining and we'd hung our clothes over the tent we came home to a pool of water inside our tent, we had to wipe it up with tiolet paper and forego my wet sleeping bag for the night, n pretty cold next to beach, oh well, woke very early Wednesday for long trip to Geneve in Switzerland.
Switzerland is a very clean and well organised country and the people here are so friendly and helpful (unlike the Spanish). We didnt realise how cold it would be! We set up our tent again in the rain, had chocolate for dinner and had to put on all our clothes and cocoon oursleves in our (now dry) sleeping bags, bbbrrr!
On Thursday we went back down to France for a scenic trip through the French and Swiss Alps... the most amazing sights I have ever seen. Went from Chamonix to Martigney in a small slow train that wound through the hugest mountains covered in alpines with snow on their peaks and tiny villages down below, we went through tunnels, along creeks (with greeny milky water) and past sheer drops that got a bit scary... its hard to describe how stunning it was and how small it made me feel, ive only ever seen little snow in Armidale so was just blown away. We also did trip from Interlaken to Luzern, also beautiful, mountain meets lake, wow! We may come back for some more time in Switzerland later, it is so pretty.
