We woke up in the morning to catch the 10am boat on the late... a beautiful ride admiring the neighboring mountains...
Enjoying the ride with the cuzzies...
We got off at one of the stops and jumped into a cable car which took us up the mountain!!!! It can be hiked too...but we decided to save time and energy and that we'll take the hike down instead...
Noah sitting in the driver's seat... in his dreams!
At the top of the mountain we found ourselves amongst Swiss Lodges
And of course....Ruth and her sister just happen to know the owners of one...
So we sat inside....
Chatted with the owners....
Noah and Nadia gave me a tour as the restaurant wasn't open yet....
My personal tour guides..... hehe
The view from the window... stunnninngggg
A Swiss Alp horn...
Gorgeous!!!!
A Swiss cow bell...
Family love :)
After my little tour it was back inside for lunch... Noah and Trixie ordered escargots... I can officially say I have eaten one... the loads of garlic and butter helped mask the thought of it... it was 2-3 bites, swallow, and gone. But I did it... I passed on the second offer.
Our DIVINE lunch... a wooden bowl of fresh pasta in a cheese sauce with fried onions on top and apple sauce to add to it... YUMMMMM
Dig in!
Off we went to explore the mountain...
Typical Swiss house!
Noah beside his favorite car!!!
As we're strolling along we randomly end up taking a tour in a healing center! The Maharishi Ayurveda Health Centre in Seelisberg (Uri) !http://www.mav-seelisberg.ch/mav/mav_english/startsite/startsite_frameset.html
Kept walking along... and made it to a beautiful lake!!!
Ruth and Trixie on a boat....
while Nadia and I are on the paddle boat with Noah dragging along....
MMmmmmm... Swiss Chocolate....
Kept hiking along and found this random woman's house who sells neat artwork!!!
Look at her view!!!!
Beautiful!!!
The cutest little chapel...
Lovely
After exploring this beautiful house, we kept walking...finding miniiii little frogs everywhere!!!!
Nadia's matching nails!!!
The hike continued into the forest down over 1000 stairs...how many did we count again Nadia?!?!
A random pipe with fresh water and a metal cup attached to a string in the middle of the forest....
Noah filling it up for me....
Me testing it.... it was alright...
Finished the trek down the mountain!
At the bottom of the mountain we got back to the car and stopped by a restaurant for some fish and chips. After that, Ruth, Nadia, and I walked along in the rain and again....another random Swiss experience.... bumped into a Nun managing the convent animal barn!!!It was sooooo funny, this cow LOVEs sucking on the nun's finger...hilarious!!!
Along the other side of the barn, there was a random milk house!!!!!!!
SOOOO cool!!!
And yummmmm...fresh creamy Swiss deliciousness!!!!
Yes...that was all in one day!!!!! Thank you so much Ruth... it was incredible!!!!!!!!!!
