Swiss Day 4 - Interlaken

Selingan:

I have uploaded a few items for sale at www.euphoriajunction.com.

Please have a look. =)

Continuing to our Swiss travelogue Day 4. 

We took the tour to Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe)

So from Zurich to go to Jungfrau, we need to pass through Interlaken.

The journey is about 2 hours by bus.

At first,we had to go the the tour place behind the bus stand.

We went there by tram. 

It's so easy to go around Zurich by tram because it's very efficient. 

 Sampai kat situ terus naik bus.
The bus is new and it's a double decker bus.
Luckily we arrived there early.
We can sit on the 2nd floor of the bus and at the front to enjoy the views.

Along the way, we were told we are heading to that top.

Once arrived in Interlaken, we were given around 45 minutes to walk around the town or to shop.

Saje je tour operators ni bawak kat tempat shopping

They had quite a lot of selections
And we were also been given with additional discount on top of the discount.
Tapi 45 minutes je nak shopping??? I need MORE time.
So we just bought a few chocolates untuk bekal nanti.

We walked around the place, there is a big casino.

Ooo, then I know the reason dia buat luxury shops kat situ.

Then we went to the nicer place. I love seeing all those flowers.

Very colourful and the scents somehow brighten my mood!

To be continued with our cogwheel train journey to Jungfraujoch

Zurich Day 3: Bahnofstrasse Shopping

The day before during the tour, the weather was 27 degrees but then on the 3rd day it was around 15 degrees. As expected, weather in Europe is unpredictable, but luckily during the 2 tours that we paid in advance, the weather was really nice.

Zurich is a very expensive city. I mean the cost of living in Zurich is one of the highest in the world.

The AVERAGE income of one household in Zurich is 5200 SF (x3.5 converted to RM is RM18,200) 

If their household income is less than 4000 SF (RM14,000), they are considered POOR in Zurich.

The salary is not including tax, which is around 9-36% depends on the tier of your salary.

The younger generation could not afford to own a house in Zurich because the cost of a small apartment reached up to millions. So they have to rent.

I love the city. 

Most of them in Zurich mainly speak High German, others speak Italian and French.

The city is also very clean, well maintained and their public transportation is very advance and on time. 

Firstly we arrived in Paradeplatz station and I was so happy to see one of their famous confectionery, Sprungli. 

After buying a few stuffs, we walked towards the Limmat-Quai

Zurich HB central train station

And finally we arrived at Bahnofstrasse.

Bahnofstrasse is Zurich's main downtown street and one of the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues.

We walked along the street and not to forget a visit to the Apple store.

This place is like a Chanel boutique for my 3 boys

Found a funny water statue. 

Look! My feet are so BIG! LOL

H&M and Zara

Found a halal kebab store. We grabbed our lunch there. This kebab costs 10 SF!

Then we went into Chanel. Nothing interesting from their S/S 2011 collection. 

Found mostly in Bronze and Gunmetal colour which is quite weird looking IMHO

We also went inside their 2 storey-with glass lift, Hermes. 

I was thinking to get a Hermes Kelly watch but ended up with buying a watch from the real watchmaker, Omega.

 We found Laduree! We bought some so we could compare the taste of Laduree Macaron and Sprungli Luxemburgerli. 

The best part of the day. We found a halal Turkish supermarket. Yay!

Found halal supermarket + bought halal chicken = tasty self-cooked dinner

Izz's favourite= Macaroni and soup + cucumber

And not forgetting our lovely dessert. This time selamat dimakan because the ingredients are without alcohol, and without E471.

Isk, tak senonoh!

Sila lap air liur anda. =P
