Got our groceries for the trip done, and just chilling out before we (me, Juliana and Shahin) made our way to the pick up point. We were being a little insecure by the fact that the coach was slightly late. "Scam" was all in our thoughts, but otherwise, nothing was negative. Even if it was a scam, we would just head straight to Gatwick airport and plan a new holidays ala "lastminute.com" holiday package.
After a long ride, we arrived safely at the borders of Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy. So we were warned to make sure we stand on the right ground. Even the shop assistants speak different languages depending where you stand. It was either French, Italian, or German. Merci at one point, Grazie at another point then later it was Danke.
The following journey then got even more exciting. Snow could be seen everywhere. I'm talking about thick heavy snow here. Later, we were told to get off the coach. There we were like little kids overjoyed by the falling snow.
Few hours later, we arrived at Lucern, Switzerland. Without wasting any time, we explored the city and bought tickets to the mountains up to Mount Rigi. It's 1790m high. Up at its peak, the wind was notorious and visibility was very poor. The cable train ride was indeed breathtaking, with magnificent views and scenery. There's always something exciting to see with every inch of altitude we climb. Up at Rigi, we had fun with the snow fights and just mesmerized by the fact that snow was everywhere, as thick as 2metres. We also then rented few sleighs for us to play. The song of the day was somehow christmas songs!! aahaha The sleigh was so much fun than anything else. On the way back down to Vitznau, we took the cable car, before taking the ship back to Lucern.
The next day, we went off for a day visit to Milan. Milan was superb!!! Fashion shopping and foods were excellent! The weather was just brilliant and very welcoming!! I wish I could stay there longer and indulge myself in shopping and good foods.
On the third and last day, went off skiing 3000m at Mount Titlis. My first experience skiing, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't even fall, not even once. We had quick lessons from the management that was worth around £25. We were lucky however, we got it for free as the tour guide somehow favour us more than the rest! ehhehe. We were so baik bah!! Plus.. we're the "BRUNEI" group.
On overall, the trip was excellent. It worth every penny I paid for. Although Switzerland was uber expensive, the place is simply beautiful. I probably pay another visit some other time to other cities like Zurich. And Milan, I will definitely come again next time.
