Hi Bob,
I loved the areas I was in, which was both near Zurich and about 30 minutes from Lucerne in the mountains. If I had a chance to go back and could stay anywhere (for free, like last time – LOL), I might want to check out some of the even more mountainous areas further south.
I hope you make it to Switzerland – it’s a beautiful place.

We’re actually only a few miles from Switzerland right now, in Pallanza, Italy. Pallanza is on a peninsula in the middle of Lago Maggiore. On both sides of the peninsula you can see the snow-covered Swiss Alps in the distance. And of course, Italy has its share of great mountains as well, including the largest wilderness area in the Alps, just above us about 20 minutes away.

Thanks for giving us such a vivid view of Switzerland. Where would you choose to spend a few months in Switzerland if you could go anywhere?

Bob

Hi Margarita,
I can only report on what I saw – and I wasn’t just in the “red light district” in Zurich; I stayed in small suburban towns, traveled through mountain towns, larger cities, etc.
There may not be as many sex shops as garbage bins(!), but like I said, in comparison to North America, there is generally a much more open mentality towards sex. (This is not a bad thing!)
And yes, Switzerland is one of the cleanest countries I’ve ever visited. At least you can rest assured the rats are clean too! Ha ha.

No, I have not been yet, but have experience with Swiss people 🙂 I even asked one about your post, who confirmed that your points were right 😉

@Tiny Girl – Have you been to Switzerland yet? It’s such a lovely place.

@pinaysolo – Thanks! Switzerland was very kind to my camera; it’s hard not to point it just about anywhere and come out with something akin to a postcard! 🙂
