Siwitzerland, come back

Last summer was one of the best summers of my life because I went on vacations with some friends to Switzerland! We went there because the family of my best friend has a house there because they use to go on winter to ski, and they left the house to us some days.

The house was in a little and beautiful village called Elm, well, the house was not exactly in the village, it was in the slope of the mountain of the Alpes. It was so nice and reminded me to the house of Heidi because it was made all with wood, the next house nearly were in a hundred meters... And next to the house, always appeared rabbits, deer... We also have a cable railway near the house!

We were in Switzerland about ten days. My friend and me, left the airport of Girona in the morning and at noon, we landed in Germany. Then, we took a taxi that took us to the train station and there, we eat and we took the first train. It was the longest journey because it took us to Switzerland. Once there, we took three more trains to arrive to Elm, there, my friend's brother and his friends were waiting for us for, at least, take us at home. They had gone by car two days before. 

The ten days past very fast! We did a lot of excursions through the Alpes. What impressed me the more was the beautiful landscape! All was very green and some mountains still have snow in the peaks. Further, in front of the house, there was a big mountain with waterfalls. The mountain was so high that you couldn’t see the sun until half past seven!

We also visited some cities such Zurich and Lucerne. In Zurich, my friend and I spent the day shopping and seeing the city although the guys that were tired of walk, spent the day complaining about our shops. The second city that we visited, Lucerne, was my favorite; it has a beautiful bridge, the Kapellbrücke, decorated with flowers and it that cross the lake of the four sides that we crossed by ferry. Another day, we visited the Schaffhausen waterfalls that were very awesome and some more villages and little cities.

The return trip was like the journey of the way there, with all the trains and the plane but without the enthusiasm because our vacations in Switzerland were running out and my friend and I were so tired, that we slept most of the way.

How I had said formerly, what impressed me the most was all the landscapes! All was so beautiful: it didn’t seem real to me, I was like in a film!!! Another thing was the currency, in Switzerland they have the Swiss franc and of course, I have to change my money before the trip. And my friend had to do the shopping because I didn’t understand the change of money… Anyway, I think I still have some Swiss franc in the wallet.

Another think that impressed I was the language: it’s true that in Switzerland they speak in German, but they have a very strange accent: even my friend, who’s German, didn’t understand them. Luckily, everybody speak in English so we could understand with everybody. 

Below, there is a part of the video that we made of our trip!
