For the second day, we mainly spent the time in Mt. Titlus and Lucerne. The take home message for Switzerland is: Bring a damn tripod... The landscape was amazing, with a nice skyline from the Alps, lack of obtrusive high rise, and a nice and tranquil atmosphere.
On the mountain, it was an amazing experience to just be at 10000 ft above sea level. The scenery was beautiful when it wasn't blocked by the clouds. Along the way, there were lots of cows on the mountain, even at 2.5 km above sea level. How long did it take them to walk so far up?? That aside, it was an amazing scenic experience despite the cloudiness
Back at Lucerne, I was shocked by two things: Chinese tourists love luxury watche/Swiss army knives and Fondue is overrated. I never got the idea of luxury watches which sell based on throwing more rare metals and stones on it. I rather prefer to spend the money on an understated watched which performs up to my expectations. If I ever wear a watch that is. On the other hand, I was really interested in getting a Swiss army knife, but I wasn't sure if I was ever going to use it, and it felt like it would be too much to spend for something I wont use much.
Ended my day with two types of fondue: Traditional Swiss Meat Fondue and Cheese Fondue. I totally felt that fondues weren't that special, they ether lacked flavour or covered everything with a cheesy flavour. Although I didn't research into Fondue, so I just picked a random restaurant, which may have been a bad apple. The one positive note: Cheese and bread is AMAZING so far. Very flavourful and awesome. If anything, it was the only thing that made the fondue worth it. But even then it didn't justfiy the 50 euro price tag for one.
Overall love the scenery. Would love to do a road trip in Switzerland, where I can explore more. As always, ended with a flag pin and a thirst to explore more.
