Day 6: Fussen, Germany
This was a fun-filled day to the German salt mine, beer festival, and Swarovski's official headquarters! Since we were in Germany, we also got a taste of the infamous pork knuckle. It was okay...
I must say that Switzerland is one of my favourite places despite the fact that it's a bit of a hassle to have to use swiss franc instead of euro. It's so peaceful and the people are very friendly. Lucerene icecream is also very tasty!=)
The picture is of me on a bridge with the Swan Lake Castle in Austria in the background; they also have a very pretty lake there with swans close up.
From going to Mt. Titlis, I begin to understand why so many wealthy people come to Switzerland every year to ski. It is very pretty atop the mountain. Again, the icecream here is awesome. Although it was summer time, it was still very cold up the mountain. In fact, because we were so high up, one of the members of our tour group experienced "high mountain symptoms" where he was extremely dizzy and literally fainted as soon as we left the gondola.
Both Monte Carlo and Nice were tops on my favourite destinations during this tour. I loved the scenery, the shopping, and the night life. I'm not surprised that the world's richest people all own a home in Monaco; it's obvious with the number of luxurious cars and brand name stores along the streets equivalent to our Starbucks and Tim Hortons.
Needless to say, this was also where I added a new member to my LV family at home as you will see from my Day 11 picture.

I do have to mention that Germans were very smart to turn an outdated salt mine to a tourist attraction filled with train rides to boat rides to rollercoaster like slides into the mine!

Day 10: Paris, France
Paris...it does live up to its hype. I love it here. After a 5 1/2 hour ride on the TGV Rail from Nice to Paris, we visited the Notredame and went on a boat ride touring and sightseeing. There is just so much to see in Paris. As one can see, the Eiffel Tower alone is mesmerizing as it lights up at night. And then there is the night life; Moulin Rouge is a great show to go to if you don't bring children.
