I have seen you many times on Mridula's blog.<BR/><BR/>On your query..Well, I'll speak about all the places in detail but that will take time. Pls refer to swiss map on my left sidebar.<BR/><BR/>Well, it depends when are you planning the trip. If it is in March-April, don't miss the mountains. They are still full of snow. <BR/>Go to Jungfraujoch..highest pt of Europe. It also has highest post office in Europe and a ice museum.<BR/><BR/>Among cities, see Zurich city. Geneva is famous for lake, flower clock and water jet. Also Interlaken (City of 2 lakes famous for Indian film shootings) and Luzern.<BR/><BR/>Go to Lugano.. it is almost in Italy.. it is mini Switzerland. If you remember the movie 'Guru'(not sure of name now) starring Rishi Kapoor/Sridevi singing a song. I have plenty of photos of it, will cover in 2 posts. <BR/><BR/>I think I have told you an itinerary for more than 10 days. :)<BR/><BR/>One more thing. On cash part. Though they accept Euros but will return the change in CHF as they are not a part of European Communion.<BR/><BR/>Bon Voyage !!Cuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09593822080382578122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792452394789637349.post-62258827637160399322007-03-09T04:15:00.000+05:302007-03-09T04:15:00.000+05:30Exactly what I was looking for...we (me and my hus...Exactly what I was looking for...we (me and my husband) are in the process of planning a trip to Switz and your posts should be helpful.
