Switzerland is considered a small country, but it is way too big to not give it at least a week to visit it. We were coming from Liechtenstein to Lake Como near Milan. I just simply did not set aside enough time for a visit. It was raining hard and all I personally saw was the road ahead of me. I did stop a couple of times to pick up chocolate and CocaCola, but did not see much. We did meet a very nice clerk at a small grocery store who was very helpful and gracious. As I only had Euros I now have my change in Swiss Francs. I will need to use them some day. I want my relatives to choose to visit that country or I will regret it. I even planned to fly out of Verona over Mont Blanc and all I saw was clouds.
Now, what did I learn? I knew it before, but learned it again. You have to take your time. No matter how small a place, you have to invest in it. You cannot know four countries in a week. You can see them, but not know them. So, I kept my Swiss Francs and I am ready to go. I will check the weather first. (Photo by
