303. Lucerne + Zurich

Bucherer Rolex store Lucerne
Before I leave for NYC, I'm going to try to post as much as I can of the remainder of my Europe photos from this summer. Keyword here is try. I can't believe Christmas is merely a few days away!! Not prepared for it yet and certainly not in the spirit of it either. We still haven't gotten any snow and I haven't gotten any Christmas shopping done yet.

Here are some photos from my short stay in Switzerland back in May.

Lucerne bridge
Kapellbrucke Luzern
That was my second time visiting Lucerne. I will always remember the feeling I got when I saw this bridge in person for the first time ever. When I was really young, I saw a photo of it in a travel brochure. I think I cut it out and tried to draw it too. At first I had no idea where it was but I always thought it represented a quintessential little European town. Then when I visited Lucerne for the first time, I was aimlessly wandering when I turned the corner to find it right in front of me. It's one of those incredible feelings - seeing something in person that you originally thought only existed in photos. That's probably why I decided to return to Lucerne again this summer (because to be honest, as pretty as it is there's not a whole lot to do in this city..at least not enough to justify my going twice in a span of 5 years)

Lucerne buildings beside the river
There's my hotel - "Balances". Will do a review on it soon.

Lucerne Switzerland
Balances restaurant Lucerne
Kapellbrucke
Vandalizing Kapellbrucke. Anyone heading there soon? Let me know if it's still there!

Zurich
Zurich!

Zurich
Louis Vuitton Zurich
Of course I had to drop by LV. It's nice and large here!

Breguet Zurich
Another favourite brand - Breguet. Though I'm still waiting on my first..

Zurich
Credit Suisse Zurich
I love all the boutiques here - huge selections & everyone is so well-dressed.

Zurich lake
Strolling beside the lake. I only spent about half a day in Zurich; half of that time I was eating/people-watching in Sprungli.

TGV train schedule
Next destination: Paris! (via Basel)

Basel train station food
Shameless self-promotion + food at the Basel train station

Leftbanked business card
More self-promotion. (If you don't know: I love to scatter mini blog business cards all over the places I travel to)

    Amazing photos of Zurich and Lucerne. Switzerland is very nice to visit but expensive. I remember paying 7Euros for a latte in St Moritz but the views are gorgeous! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. We finally have snow here in TO! Enjoy NYC!

    Gorgeous!!! Looks so peaceful too, was it very warm there during the early summer? I always imagine it to be somewhat cold =P and....where's all the chocolate? Isn't this the land of cocoa bars? LOL That story of you and your "history" with the little bridge is adorable and I'm happy you got to go there twice! Also I really really love the photo with your laptop and the champagne for some reason, looks so lux =)

    I have heard of the Deyrolle museum in Paris and I wish I went too, sigh I missed a lot of things in Paris, I wanted to go to the catacombs too etc. oh wells, maybe next time lol I also want to go to Palace of Versailles again and spend a whole day in their garden and have a picnic there.

    P.S I'm not sure if you watched Disney's Ratatouille but I wanted to look for the store that sold rat traps etc.

      yea it was kind of hot the days I was there!
      hahah I actually don't like chocolate too much. I got a couple waiting for me when I checked into my hotel room though
      I wanted to visit the Catacombs too but ran out of time..well I kind of planned to go with some people I just met there, but they decided to go early one morning & I (unsurprisingly) slept in lol
      hmm no I haven't seen it. Sounds like an interesting store though!
