    Glacier 3000 & Vevey

    The Swiss Riviera stretches from Lausanne to Montreux and encompasses the beautiful Lavaux vineyards perched on steep hills with a dramatic view of the lake and the Alps on the other side. Then you reach Vevey and its old town, passing La-Tour-de-Peilz before ending in Montreux.

    Rhône Glacier

    Since the opening of the modern-day Furka pass road 150 years ago, thousands of tourists have come to see the unique mountain panorama around the Rhône Glacier.

    Lucerne

    We've arrived in the land of Toblerone only to find to my horror that it is more expensive than it is back in Oz!! But then EVERYTHING is grossly expensive in Switzerland, hence why we're only spending 10 days here.
