Switzerland day 2

So today was kind of a random day. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do but I knew that I didn't want to be on the train for hours. So, that somewhat limited my options. So first I went to the Rhinefalls, that biggest waterfall in Europe. The big-ness is based on volumes of water not like height. It was pretty but there were way too many clueless tourists. They annoy me.

I did however meet these adorable Swiss/German children on the train ride there. They were small and speaking German which I think is so fun.

So I walked down like 100 steps to get to the river and then took a boat across the river and to this little rock island in the middle of the waterfall. It was nice.

The I hopped on a few trains and made my way to St Gallen. I stayed there for all of 30 minutes and then got on a train to this little town, the name of which I cannot remember. So I arrived in this town to go to the Maestrani chocolate factory but when I got there, the bus wasn't running for another 2 hrs. This is not the kind of town you can spend 2 hrs in, so I was not about to wait around for the bus for 2 hrs. However, I was also not going to leave without seeing the chocolate factory. So I walked. It took me about 40 mins and part of the way there was no sidewalk...and it was like the middle of farms. These small towns are fun though cause that is where no one speaks English. So I made it to the factory and walked through it, watching them make the chocolate. Then I visited the factory store and bought some chocolate that I cannot eat anyway. Then I took the bus back to the train station.

I arrived home and went to meet Lindsay and her co-workers at this little bar. We were there for a few hours and then we came home. And now we are at now.

Tomorrow I am going to spend the day in Luzern and maybe walk around Zug a bit. Then I have to go back to Zurich to catch my train to Graz. It's an overnight train. I'll be in Graz all day Thursday and Thursday night and then I am heading to Slovenia. I may not update again until Friday, so I thought I'd give you a rough schedule of events.

More pictures to come.
