Well hello to all of you that haven't heard from us in DAYS!! We apologize for not keeping you updated, but it's been busy!!
We are now in Switzerland.. Echallens to be exact if you wanted to google map it our of curiousity!! SO to update you all on the days we've been having, we will start with Friday since we ended on Thursday! The night was a blast and we met a lot of cool people.. Canadians and Brits actually. The next morning/afternoon we headed to the Pantheon, which is AMAZING (just like everything else here!). We spun around in the middle and had our minds blown!! Raphael's tomb is there as well. We got some super delicious coffee drink and then headed to dinner, which was great!! :) We saw the Trevi Fountain, made our wishes, and started our journey back to the hostel!
Saturday, we woke up in a frenzy and packed as quickly as possible. Danielle and I tried to see the Cappuchian crypts, but were 15 min short sadly. We about cried! BUT instead of getting ripped off paying 25 euro for the cab, we only had to dish our 5 euro! So we thought positively!
We jumped on the train to Switzerland next. Shefali slept until Milan while Danielle and I looked at pictures and watched movies on our ipods. We had a stop in Milan so we grabbed a bite to eat at the restaurant and ran into people that we had met in Rome! Small world!! After chatting with them we hopped on the next train to Bern where Swiss (Kevin, my friend who studied abroad at CU last year) picked us up.
We arrived at his house with all of our luggage and changed for the night! We LOVE the drives and houses here, they are so cute (a word we overuse, or so Kev thinks so!) We had only 1 hour to go until the birthday celebration commenced so we headed to his friends house to chill before they took us dancing and showed us the nightlife of Lausanne! We were very safe since they are all part of the Swiss army and knew Kevin very well!
We got home pretty late with the best sandwiches in Switzerland in our hands and hit the hay.. when we finally woke up, we got ready and headed up the windy Alps to a panoramic view of the country! It was fantastic! We could see all of Lake Geneva, the Alps, France in the distance, the place where they make all the super duper expensive watches, etc, etc, etc. As we headed back down the mountain, Swiss explained all of the great views and little villages to us.
By that time it was time to head out for the night.. so we had no idea where we were going because it was my birthday surprise. Good thing we dressed up because it was the most beautiful and classy place EVER! Like literally had the best view of Switzerland.. I would say and everyone else would say it's honestly top 3 views in the ENTIRE world! We sat on the patio for awhile before dinner and watched the sun go down. Omg, best birthday ever?! I think so. I don't know what could have made it more perfect?! Maybe just all of our readers being there with us!?! After dinner and a very good chat, we went to a little festival in another village that was a very good time! For you all we would compare it to like a fair.. but with Swiss people speaking French! They did have karaoke, but the line was too long for us to get in! Bummer!
Anyway, it's now late so I'm off to bed.. but thanks everyone for the birthday wishes on facebook and email! I love you all as does Shefali and Danielle!
On another quick note before I go, I believe our French is getting a little better (or so we think).. we even ordered our own meals today! Props to us! :)
We will try to post again before we leave this amazing, beautiful, spectacular, fabulous, (and every other word that means GREAT) place. It's not guaranteed, but cross your fingers :)
Ciao America!!
