This is what we woke up to this morning.
This was it last night.
Today has seen us on a train again heading out to Biel in Switzerland to stay with a friend of a friend of Alison's. The scenery was just breathtaking and the photos don't do it any justice but I did take some. We were in Zurich for a couple of hours and went for a walk for about half an hour, once we had sorted out where to stow our luggage and also the correct money to use, which are Swiss Francs. Who knew? The change machine ripped us off too. We put in €5 and got back 4 francs. Thought nothing of it until the machine wouldn't take the next €5 we tried to put in because it was too crinkled. I went off to the bank to change the euros to francs and this time got 5.20! Stupid machine. While we were walking around it began to snow lightly. Continuing in the vein of eating the local food, I bought some chocolate, as you do. There might not be any left when I get home.
After that it was back on the train and through some beautiful scenery and some more snow. Two stops before Biel the snow was going sideways. It was almost like being back at home! Now we are relaxing at Claudia's while she prepares a home cooked meal. It is nice being in a house rather than a hotel. Tomorrow it is off to Geneva for the day to CERN so I can get my science geek on. Unfortunately we can't do any tours of the large hadron collider but there are museums that we can go to so that should be good.
