Switzerland in 25 hours

In June last year, I was on my way to attend a research meeting in Porto.  But I yearned to go to Switzerland since God knows when.  We didn't have the chance to go there when we were in Denmark at the end of 2018.  The weather was not that good at the time too.  So, this time around, I made it a point to drop by Switzerland on my way to Portugal.

It was a long journey indeed.  From Kuala Lumpur to Zurich with Emirates via Dubai.  I left KLIA during the wee hours of 15th June 2019, arriving Zurich Airport at about 1.30pm on the same day.  I was due to leave Zurich for Porto on the next day at 3pm, hence the 25 hours.  I quickly hopped on a train to Interlaken, which took me about 2 hours.  Such a beautiful place to be at.  It was picturesque all along the way, the rivers, the buildings, the snow capped mountains, the lakes, the houses, the countryside and everything.  A dream came true for me.

I spent that afternoon in the small town of Interlaken, in the heavy rain, with two friends who arrived there a day ealier.  The next morning, we went to one of the mountain tops where there was still snow.  We left Interlaken in the afternoon so that we can spend a few hours in Zurich, before boarding the flight to Porto.
