Brace yourself, it’s a long one! Wow, what an exciting day! A full of fun and adventure! I think it’s safe to say I’ve mastered the Alpine mountains. An Alpinist is a term for adventure seekers who came to the Alpine mountains of Germany, Switzerland, Italy and more, often referring to the many wealthy British … More The Alpinist

Well I didn’t do much today except trick a billionaire into giving me every single dollar he has, which gave me barely enough to afford a train ticket to the next town. (Even the man in the ticket office agreed that the trains in Switzerland are incredibly expensive when I expressed shock at the price.) … More Valley Town, Switzerlandville

I don’t get it. The whole day the sky has been 99% clear. Except around the Matterhorn. All day today, and all day yesterday the sky is clear, and sunny, and it’s hot out. Except there’s just clouds always hovering around the top of the Matterhorn masking it. There was only 1 or 2 very, … More The Matterhorn!

Well after a pretty late start I finally left Zürich, and traveled to the opposite end of the country to the southern tip of Switzerland – to the tiny town of Zermatt. It’s a really cool little Alpine village. It’s a quite beautiful, and very mountainy, foresty, … Alpine themed town, without much else going … More Jon’s Journey Through Switzerland?

The largest waterfall in Europe! I took a train north to the city of Neuhausen am Rhein to see it, quite near the border with Germany. Known as the Rheinfall here in Switzerland. Here it is, behold its glory! PRETTY NEAT HUH!? Here’s some facts: 150 meters wide, 23 meters tall, 13 meters deep, water … More The Largest Waterfall In Europe

This’ll be a short one… more or less. I took a train to the top of Uetliberg, a large mountain overlooking the land all around which was cool. Very weirdly when I got there up to the top of the mountain and on top of the observation tower I heard lots and lots of really … More More Zürich

Well Zürich is kinda sorta an alright town. Well, actually it’s pretty cool, especially now that I had time to do stuff that wasn’t churches. Went first to the Zürich Museum of Swiss History, documenting the city from it’s early days in the 1200’s and before, to famous people who lived and came to Switzerland … More Turicum

Oh man is it nice when the entire country doesn’t shut down at 6pm. Well, I left Freiburg today, and since I accomplished all I set out to do in Germany, *snickers* I moved on and left. For real though, the trains today were miserable. I was supposed to end up taking 1 single train … More The Stores! They’re Open!

It’s pretty awesome. Enough said. With my second day in Freiburg I had originally planned to take a trip to the town of Todtnau (toad-tuh-now, pronounced quickly) deep in the heart of the Black Forest, and that’s what I still planned to do today, and after a lengthy bus ride, (about 90 minutes) I made … More What Is A Rodelbahn Anyway?

Well,  I’ll keep it short. Today was a nice day. Alright picture time.       Naw I’m just kidding. But seriously though, it was a bunch of walking, with lots of simple things, no big major attractions, except the first thing I did, taking a tram to the top of the nearby hill, and … More Free Castle
