EuroTrip

After coming back from a 4-day 4-country travel, I was accused by some of the locals of going on a "typical American trip," implying that Americans do not want to spend time and get to know the local culture, preferring to hop around from place-to-place ... as if that was a bad thing.

I resent that a bit, being a Polish-American ... but, more of stereotypes later.

The way I like to think of our trip, is as a quick preview and review of places we may or may not want to visit for a longer stay.

Here are some highlights.

Luxembourg

Please don't be offended, Luxembourgers .... hmmm .... Luxembourgese ... ahh ... Luxembourgians, but Luxembourg City is a sleepy town. Very cute, nice sights, but small and quiet.


Basel

Let the fact that we did not take a single picture of this city speak for itself.




Zürich

Simply lovely. Zürich is a beautiful city overlooking Lake Zürich. The place was clean, offered many restaurants and shops, but most importantly, it was just stunning to look at. Walking around city streets was a treat in itself.

We are definitely going back there in the summer for hiking, in the winter for skiing. I would recommend this place to visit to anyone.

Strasbourg

The little time we spent in this city was enough to know we want to come back here as well. Very pleasing to the eye, walker friendly, French, beautiful town.

Schwartz Wald

We already have plans to come here in the summer. I mean just look at it! And yes, I know it’s not going to be snowy like this but I can’t wait to hike thought this pine forest.

Heidelberg

This one we’ll skip next time. The highlight was the Castle overlooking the town. I’m sure it’s a lovely city but we’re got numerous other places on our list to visit that sound better than returning to Heidelberg.

... Happy Travels
