Section 1359: Change of bones
Perhaps only by driving along the coastline can you truly experience and record its beauty.: Nice is only more than 20 kilometers from Monaco, and it arrives in more than half an hour. Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, second only to the Vatican, with an area of 1.98 square kilometers. However, Monaco is one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world.
The industry is mainly based on gambling, tourism and banking. It overlooks the scenery of the Monte Carlo port. The first stop is the Palace of Monaco. The Grimaldi family has become the royal family of Monaco since 1297, and the Palace of Monaco is its private residence. Princess Grace Kelly, the real person is indeed beautiful and noble.
From the Oscar for Best Actress to becoming the Princess of Monaco, the experience is indeed legendary. The palace is not big, but it is magnificent, but unfortunately it is not allowed to take photos. In addition, the detailed explanation machine is much better than many other attractions in Europe. After the palace comes out, we go through the alley to the Monaco Ocean Museum. It is still a cute little train.
I haven't walked into the aquarium for a long time, and it's also a pleasure to see the cute fish. Sharks are the most eye-catching stars. The silly turtle, the seahorse with "little fans", all kinds of strange-looking fish, Amazon piranha, jellyfish, moray eel, and big starfish, looking very cruel. When the Ocean Museum comes out, walks to Monte Carlo Railway Station with the beautiful sea view.
Monte Carlo Railway Station. It takes a few minutes to arrive at Ez. The train station is very small, just like a bus station. Ez is between Monaco and Nice. The small town was built in 550 BC and is one of the oldest and most beautiful mountain cities in the Costa ça. Because of the limited time, Yunluo and Anchuzhi did not climb the mountain along the Nietzsche Road, but took the bus to wind up.
Get off at the ezevillage station, next to it is a perfume factory. Enter the city and follow the small roads in the city to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is an exotic botanical garden (lejardineotique), planted with various cactus. This was once a castle, which was destroyed by Louis XIV's army during the Spanish War in 1706.
Yunluo and An Chu came here because there is the best angle to overlook the Costa ça. Monaco is said to be sunny, and you can sometimes see the coastline of Nice and Cannes, standing here. The Church of Our Lady of Assumption is a landmark building in the town. The beautiful scenery on the way down the mountain Vatican Vatican capsule car. It is so cute.
In the evening, I returned to Nice. Back to the old town, I had ice cream to relieve the heat. Another store in Glaierfenohio seemed to be the stall in that era. There were many people. Of course, the most annoying thing was not that I couldn’t queue up, but that I really didn’t know what to eat, because there were too many flavors.
Dinner was paella and seafood pasta. After Monaco, he finally had the opportunity to go into the sea to dine in water. Without the scorching sun, only the Mediterranean waves hit his body. It was so cool~ Monaco's skin was sunburned, just like wearing a white T-shirt. The sun sets and the afterglow is shining on the sea and sky.
As the sky gets darker, the trip to South France is about to come to an end. Provence-Côte d'Azur region, the memories of this summer will be unforgettable.
I left France in the morning and took a Swiss Air flight to Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva Airport took a train to Genevarnavin Railway Station. The airport has free tickets and the train was spacious and clean. Because the credit card I booked with the previous hotel email was not successful, the accommodation was temporarily changed to cityhostelgeneva, and the double room I booked was actually a bunk bed.
An Chuyu Xiaoxiao scolded her for not having air conditioners. However, she can also reminisce about her experience of backpacking in Europe when she was a student. After a lunch break, she started to visit Geneva. Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland, with international organizations everywhere, including the United Nations European headquarters, the famous Palace of Nations.
There is also the Red Cross headquarters. But the last time Yunluo came here, her impression of Geneva was of a lake and a fountain, and there were not many places to attract Yunluo. As long as you hold the genevapass given by the hotel, the public transportation for tourists in Geneva is free, which is quite good. Take a tram to get to the University of Geneva.
Start a city walk. The air in Monaco, Vatican, Switzerland is fresh. The blue sky and white clouds are worthy of the paradise on earth. It is almost evening, there are no people on the streets, and the shops are closed early. The work in this country is so easy. It takes a few hours a day, and life with the tired dog in China is simply in the sky and underground~ St. Peter's Basilica of Monaco.
On the hills of the old town of Geneva, in Switzerland, you should enjoy a slow life and take a look. When Monaco comes to the shore of Lake Geneva, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the 140-meter-high fountain. The posture stolen from a postcard is a very far away. The water spray is not enough to the Ferris wheel on the shore of the Vatican Lake. Switzerland is known as the "land of gardens".
It is also the "home of watches", which is the "flower clock" that the Swiss people are quite proud of. But I personally think that there is nothing new. End an easy day and buy a private sspass, and start a Swiss train tour tomorrow. From Geneva to Lausanne, the train takes about 40 minutes to drive. The train is along Lake Geneva, and on one side is the beautiful Lake Geneva.
On one side is a Swiss village cottage and a large vineyard, with beautiful scenery. Lausanne Railway Station and the Fifth Ring Sign are very eye-catching. Walk from Lausanne Railway Station to the Olympic Museum. The Olympic Museum tells the evolution and history of the Olympic movement, displays mascots from various countries, designs of medals and torches of previous fires.
Holding private sspass can be visited for free. Athletes run and enter the venue to refuse war and violence. The power of the winner. Historical corridor. Five-ring flag. Medal exhibition. Mascot exhibition. Torch exhibition. Sportswear exhibition. Previous opening ceremony videos. There are also many interactive entertainment projects, which are full of fun. The Olympic flame outside the museum.
Various sculptures in the park. The Olympic Museum comes out of the beautiful Lake Geneva. Lake Geneva is the largest among the Alpine lakes. The lake is about 224 square miles. The lake is bow-shaped. The widest part of the lake is 8.5 miles and the deepest part is 1,017 feet. It is the world's largest alpine landslide lake.
Back at Lausanne Railway Station, I took a bus to another lakeside town in Vevey. The town is not big, but it tastes quite delicious. The beautiful scenery by the lake is still amazing. The big fork in the lake is the symbol of the Food Museum. The museum uses the buildings of the headquarters of Nestlé Company in the early 20th century, with four floors, showing knowledge about all aspects of food.
Upstairs, looking at the blue lake through the window, the image of Chaplin. People who are leisurely by the lake live in this paradise, which is really enviable. I boarded the train again and headed to Thun, and planned to take a boat to Lake Thun. Thun Railway Station. Because I was still a while away from the boat, I decided to go to the town.
The flower bridge on the river is a bit like the Cabernet Bridge in Lucerne. Several young people are surfing in the river and enjoy the excitement. The town is charming and quiet. Because Thun belongs to the state of Bern, the state flag can be seen everywhere on the street. The pattern is a bear. The building on the hill is Thun Castle, which was built in the 12th century and is now a museum.
Because time is limited, I didn’t climb up the mountain to visit. The time is almost over, so I quickly walked along the river back to the train station and looked back at the town. I couldn’t quietly experience its unique charm, which is a bit regretful. Thun Pier is right next to the train station. Sitting on the boat, blowing the wind, enjoying the heavenly lake and mountains, watching people bask in the sun by the lake and swimming in the lake, which is very comfortable.
The beauty of Switzerland cannot be accurately described in vocabulary, but can be appreciated and savored carefully. Monaco can drive its own boat to swim in this gem-like blue lake, and it is also a winner in life. The mountains in the distance are the Alps that will be visited tomorrow. I live in Spitz town at night, which is a base for yacht enthusiasts.
It is also a must-pass place from Geneva to the Alps. It was dusk when Monaco arrived at the town. Some details of the town were impressive. Monaco enjoyed dinner at a restaurant by the lake. The town at night showed another kind of beauty. Vatican Switzerland. It is a charming country, and the prosperity of the country and the high social development are amazing.
But the most attractive thing is its primitiveness and quaintness. I arrived at the shore of Lake Thun in the early morning and planned to take a boat to Interlaken, a small town under Jungfrau, and then transfer to the station of Lauterbrunen. In the morning, there were obviously fewer tourists. The lake and mountains were beautiful and fresh, even if I stayed in it for several consecutive days, the beautiful and fresh feeling was still there.
The boat can only reach interlakenwest, and then two trains interlakenwest-interlakennost-lauterb breast nnen. After half a month of scorching sun, the skin was almost dark, and the train slowly moved up from the bottom of the mountain, with beautiful scenery outside the window. The blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and wooden houses, this is a typical scenery in the Alps.
At noon, we arrived at the mountain town of Lauterbrunn. The reason why we chose this place as our destination is because Lauterbrunn is located at the intersection of three forks and convenient transportation. You can access Interlaken down the mountain and go up the mountain with two roads, one can reach Jungfrau Peak, and the other can reach Murren to Snowy Peak. Furthermore, the scenery of this town is beautiful.
A waterfall flies down from a cliff dozens of meters high, forming a pastoral picture of mountains and rivers with cliffs, green spaces and wooden houses. It feels quieter than Interlaken where tourists gather. This is the hotelstaubbah, where Yunluo and Anchu meet. It is about 15 minutes away from Lauterbrunen Railway Station, not far from the waterfall.
Because the room was not cleaned up, I came to the front desk to plan my afternoon itinerary based on the hotel manager's recommendation. This hotel provides free coffee and a self-service kitchen, which makes Yunluo and An Chuyu, who are worried about what to eat every day in Switzerland, are very happy. After all, with a microwave, you can purchase semi-finished products from supermarkets, which is to save money.
The second is to choose more. After the decoration is completed, I decided to take the cable car to Anchuyuu, then hike for an hour to Winteregg, and take a small train to Murren. This section is actually walkable, and the scenery in the mountains is also very good, but it takes a long time, so Yunluo and Anchuyuu decided to take a short walk to experience it.
The cable car station is opposite the train station, some places are steep and a little exciting. After a few minutes, I first met at Glutsha An. The weather is clear, and you can see the snow-capped mountains from afar. Hiking along the mountain path. The train tracks are right next to it, so it is not easy to get lost. Soon, I walked into a dense forest. When I walked out of the woods, the clouds suddenly arrived and it was a bit rainy.
The climate change in the mountains is really fast. Fortunately, the rain stopped after a few drops, so I continued to walk and pat. The flowers in the mountains were blooming brightly. The clouds were falling and flying higher. There were two benches on the roadside. It turned out that they were set up here to commemorate my beloved wife. Let the wife stay in mind forever and always look at the white snow mountains and plateau meadows. It is really touching.
With this intent, Yunluo and An Chuhui also left an eternal figure. Because while walking and playing, the time to arrive at Winteregg was later than expected, but there were more trains, so I waited for a while on the platform and then successfully took the train. There were only two small trains, each with a cockpit, and when there was no one at the rear of the train, the train was driven.
I soon arrived at the town of Murren. Murren is a small mountain village on the cliffs of the Lauterbrunen Valley. Since gasoline locomotives are prohibited, the simple mountain village atmosphere in the Alps is well preserved. The deepest impression here on Yunluo is that the colorful flowers are in such a high altitude area. It is amazing that there are such beautiful flowers.
In the souvenir shop, the local souvenirs are very cute, but they are expensive. Yunluo chose a red cow, hoping that after returning to China, the bleak A-share market would be prosperous, and the bull market soared (when I wrote this, my heart was bleeding silently) passed through the murren town and arrived at the cable car station on the other end of the town.
Because this is the only way to climb Snow Lang Peak (the filming location of the 007 movie "The Queen's Secret Order"), the cable car station has a poster of the movie 007, and the background is Snow Lang Peak. Because Yun Luo and An Chuyu plan to climb the top of Europe, they decided to take the cable car down here. Take the cable car to gimmelald first, and the town is as unique as Murren.
There is an "honesty store" in the Vatican town, which is a small store where no one runs it. Customers pick up the goods themselves and pay for it. They bought a postcard here. They took the initiative to throw the money into the box and wanted to be an honest Chinese. Monaco boarded the cable car from Gimmelald and continued downwards to Stehelberg. This rapid fall made Yun Luo, who was "fearing heights", feel a little trembling.
There are paragliding in the sky. Monaco may be because of the abundant rainfall in summer, the river surging, and the waterfalls in the mountains are rushing down. Then they take the bus back to Lauterbrunn and return to town, the clouds have begun to accumulate and the sky is getting darker. The waterfall in Lauterbrunnen, Monaco has not yet been appreciated up close, so they began to climb the mountain to see the waterfalls.
Falls view. You can walk down the cliff stone steps to the waterfall and feel the falling water mist up close. It feels like heavy rain. On the stone steps up the mountain in Monaco, Monaco, Monaco, Monaco, there are such shellless "snails". I learned that they are called "yán lures", commonly known as "slugs". Monaco and the two of them are really like brothers returning to the hotel and entering the room.
The room was in the loft on the top floor. Overlooking the quiet town, the view was pretty good. It started to rain outside Monaco again, and the plan to visit Interlaken was put on hold. This was the best day in the Alps, because the weather the next day did not bring surprises to Yunluo and An Chuyun. Breathe fresh air in the mountains and fall asleep quickly.
Tomorrow, Yunluo and Anchuhui will present another view of the Alps. It was originally planned to climb Jungraujoh, the top of Europe, and hike to the alpine lake Baha Anchuhui in the afternoon, and see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the lake. As a result, we got up early in the morning. The rain did not stop the night before, so we consulted the hotel reception.
The answer I got was that today is not a good day for climbing. You may only see clouds and mists on Jungfrau Peak, and you can’t see anything else. I couldn’t help but feel disappointed, so I could only change my plan and try my luck at first. I hope that after a hiking tour in the morning, the weather will improve in the afternoon. You need to go to Gri Ndelald Town first.
Yunluo and An Chuhui chose the route to lauterb milk nnen-zei tshinen-g-sun-g-sunndelald. Although we have to go down the mountain first and then up the mountain, the journey is a little bit circling, but the whole journey is free to walk like this. The view at the foot of the mountain is fine, but the mountain is already covered by thick clouds and mist, and the snow-capped top of the mountain in the distance is almost impossible to see.
Arrive at GR Ndelald Railway Station, transfer to GR Ndelald Cable Car Station, and then transfer to the cable car to fit. The cable car needs to take a nearly 1 hour. At that time, I thought it was the same as the previous large-car cable car, and I thought it would be a death to stand for 1 hour. Later I found out that it was a small private room, which was a very good feeling.
This cable car requires a separate ticket purchase, and the private sspass is half price. In the ticket hall, I saw the real-time picture of Jungfrau in the big screen, and I was immediately glad that I did not climb the mountain in the morning as planned, but at the same time, the hope of improving the weather in the afternoon was almost shattered. I discussed with An Chu for a long time, but decided to climb Jungfrau in the afternoon to take a look.
There was no beauty of the snow-capped mountains, at least it was worth a trip here and heading to the top of Europe. However, the staff at the cable car ticket office said that the train tickets to Jungfrau that day had been sold out, and An Chuyu's mood immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and even light rain started, which made Yun Luo at a loss.
After several persuasions, An Chuyu finally calmed down and decided to go to Fit first to see the weather there and whether he could still see the scenery of the lake and mountains. He took the cable car slowly upwards, and the temperature gradually dropped. The higher the upwards, the clouds and mist became stronger, and finally he entered the fairyland directly. Fit stood up, and a gust of cold wind blew, from the outside and inside.
Chapter completed!
