8 cities in 6 different countries in 10 days

Well this is about the small european trip which i had this summer with my family.
I think i will take each city one by one and will share my experience and knowledge of the place.Lets then start with the first stoppage of the trip which was the beautiful country of switzerland.

Confoederatio Helvetica
The trip started from the snow covered ranges of swiss alps.The first foreign city where i landed was zurich the economic capital of the country famous for snow covered mountain ranges,chocolate, army knifes cheese and of course the swiss bank.The official name of the country is Confoederatio Helvetica which is a federal republic.The climate was actually very chilly ,the temp must be around 1deg celsius.The currency over there is either euro or swiss frank I must say swiss economy is growing pretty fast.From zurich airport we took train to luzern and den another train specifically a cog wheel to Engleberg a small town surrounded by snow covered alps.The train journey is perfect to go around in switzerland the country side is marvellous and breath taking with so many lakes around.The sun was all there till 9 in the night.Typically the shops around close by 6 in the evening so in case u need anything u better check the shops before 6 in the evening.One activity that was common among every age group and qgender was smoking.The females definitely love to cover ther legs in smart and skin fitting boots .Honestly there were some really sexy and lovely boot and any girl can fall for those.So next u plan to go to switzerland should definitely pack a pair or 2 of sexy comfy boots.i always wondered how it would be to be there in snow.If it wasnt for real then i could never know how beautiful it looks when sunlight falls on the freshly settled snow and it sparkles like white sand.More then the places in switzerland the journey to the destinations like Jungfraujoch "the highest point in europe" and mount Titilis the a favourite ski spot for all those who can ski!!!!!!!!!the cog wheel train through the snow covered mountains and through 9 km long tunnel made the journey to junfraujoch a wonder in itself and the 3 stage cable car journey to mount titilis made it adventourous and when at Mt Titilis one should definitely experience the ice flyers...although the weather was snowy and windy and frosting but there are measures for couple of ice sports which 1 must indulge in.In switzerland people speak a special dialect of german.The country side is beautiful.large farms with swiss cattle specifically the cows made it more and more picturesque.Out of Zurich ,Interlaken , Luzern and Engleberg Luzern is my favourite.May be becoz of the lake Luzern,the beautiful wooden bridge over the lake lovely open cafes and restaurants across the side of the lake ,open market  the city made a special place in my memory.Noy only this i even witnessed the beauty and sanity of a prayer hall in Luzern only.At the same time i cannot deny the charm of Interlaken which has managed to grab attention of many bollywood film producers and masses of indian population.And it was here only where i tasted the splendid swiss chocolate so authentic and unique.A beautiful well maintained park spreading over an area equivalent to twice a football stadium at the foothills of jungfraujoch.One can experience the calm and charming beauty of nature here .Along with those who are interested can even manage to get tram rides as well.It was mid may and switzerland is chilly during this time of the year.Fe necessary items one need to pack
are:-
1.Pair ofthermals
2. Pair of boots
3.Pair of trekking shoes.
4.warm wind shiter
5.Indians please carry snacks (indian) with you thats a must.
this was the list of the items which u need to pack without fail.

Introduction to blogging

Well finally i have decided to start with blogging.Although I am not sure whether i will develop it as a habbit.Yes its kind of lame but at times i feel like if some how i could express my thoughts without any kind of interruptions and any judgemental opinion.Well here also i may face it but only after m done posting.I know all this does not make ay sense but as i mentioned that i need a medium to express my independent thoughts in my own way and thats why i thought i will name the blog as myway.One thing is definitely for sure that there is going to be alot of abstract topics over here alot which may not even have connections and may be relevance as well but ya as i said its definitely gonna be my way.  well I think a small introductory expression is good enough and i should shut it before it starts getting bored.
