The wonderful, civilized city of Geneva was just the beginning. Past Geneva were those famous Swiss Alps, where rumor had it cows with bells roamed alpine meadows under glaciers, and friendly locals ate fondue and other delicious hearty mountain food. Could it be true?
I love a good road, and holy s&*t are Swiss roads good. I bet you $10,000 (ok, just kidding, I'm not Mitt Romney) that you couldn't find a single pothole in the entire country. The roads just go off into the mountains, and then sometimes they dive under the mountains when the Swiss feel like it. And there's no one on them! Because Switzerland also has the world's best train system so no one actually drives! I thought back to America where we don't really have trains but our bridges are falling into rivers anyway. Sigh.
This is motorcycle rider paradise. That's it - my next motorbike holiday is going to be in Switzerland - but only if I win the lottery first.
The part about cute little mountain hamlets - that's all true too! Switzerland is 100% as advertised and even better. Any surprises? Yes, the deluge of country and 80s on the radio. Other than the questionable music it is a wonderful place.
