Zurich, Switzerland
After Germany with a brief stop in Vaduz, Leichtenstien, Zurich, Switzerland was next on our travel itinerary. Switzerland must have been the most expensive country I had visited up until that time. Everything did cost beaucoup bucks here. For our entire stay in Switzerland, the Marriott Hotel was home for nearly a week. Thanks to Marc's Elite Status with the Marriott Hotel by the river, our stay was totally free.
At Wallensee. We just had to make a stop here even though no other tourists did since we were just in awe by the scenery. This was my image of Switzerland. Just scenic!
