Diverse itinerary from west French-speaking SUI to east German-speaking SUI. We very much enjoyed being able to independently enjoy the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. The autumnal colors in the vegetation was an unexpected surprise. The waters in the many lakes - Geneva, Brienz, Thun - is beautifully clear. Next time we get to visit, we'd like to sail a sailboat on at least one Swiss lake. The one optional experience we joined in was the Jungfrau, going to over 11,000 feet above sea level. Amazing to be on glaciers and experience the wicked wind. The clouds didn't allow much visibility but what we saw was incredible. We found plenty during our self-guided explorations in the various stops. Took advantage of the water fountains country-wide to refill our water bottles, not used to the cold glacial water but we enjoyed it. Thoroughly enjoyed the local vineyard's wine tasting and lunch. Very impressed with the wood carving museum and The Lion. Train rides were fun. Cows, sheep, goats were fun too. The 9 day length was the right amount. Our tour director from Germany, and our coach driver from Austria, are gems and rockstars! We also appreciated the patience of the vendors and general population with our small bit of Americanized-French and German accents with words that we tried not to mispronounce. Did our shopping in souvenir stores and in sports stores along our tour. The one disappointment was in a Lucerne store where we bought Swiss knives and wanted engraving on a special edition knife, misinformation between the sales clerk and the engraving clerk. Big shout-out to the women we met in Reitnau on our adventure to locate relatives with our same last name, Hochuli. Also to the church, where we located the outside cemetery and on the inside of the church, two birth announcements of part of the next generation of Hochuli. Would do this tour again and woul travel to Switzerland to further self-explore on our own.
