Switzerland Unfiltered
We Loved:
The stunning scenery
The crystal blue lakes and rivers
The Alps
Toblerone
Fondues
The Glaciers
The people – especially the manager at the hotel in Lauterbrunnen
They do a pretty good version of Biltong!
The free deck chairs on Lake Brienz
The free Montreux Card
Sundowners next to Lake Geneva
Helpful signs on how to use a toilet! 
Trains (expensive ones up mountains) run on time – to the SECOND!
The music history of Montreux (esp Queen)
Lucerne
Lauterbrunnen
Waterfalls
Montreux
Plenty of eye-candy in Montreux
Not So Much:
The cost of everything
No air-conditioning
Breakfasts (when we had them) were pretty ordinary
The cost of everything
Paying for a highway “vignette” (toll pass) when I probably could have got away without paying. And having to pay for a year when I needed it for 10 days
Did I mention how expensive Switzerland is?
Wine not great
Switzerland is EXPENSIVE!!
Service in restaurants only marginally better than Germany

Loved seeing Switzerland through your lens! Thank you for the journey! I’ll save my many dollars before I head there!

Why no pictures for us to see the eye-candy?

I just want to point out – I don’t know who informed you service would be good here. As far as I recall, service is pretty generally crap across the whole continent. It’s the wait-staff’s way of saying, “Please, stay, enjoy! Feel free to stay as long as you like! It’s no hurry!” (Translation: We aren’t looking in your direction if one of your party has caught fire.)
