Taylor had a meeting in Germany for MKs in 11th grade. I traveled with her and we decided to go a week early and explore Europe a bit. Realizing we only have about 1 1/2 years with her and then she is off to college is hitting hard. It was the most amazing trip together and so thankful for this time we got to spend just mom and daughter.
Switzerland/France/Germany
Getting there Switzerland:
Flights
Gaborone, Botswana to Johannesburg, South Africa to Frankfurt, Germany, to Basel, Switzerland.
Train from Basel, Switzerland (take bus line 50 from the airport to the Basel SBB train station) to Thun, Switzerland about 1 1/2 hours.
Stay- We stayed at Hotel Aare Thun (4 nights)-can store luggage there is you arrive prior to check in.
Travel-Swiss Travel pass was amazing to have, it allowed us to get on any bus or train and discounts on most gondolas (funiculars). We more than got our moneys worth although it was quite expensive initially. It made travel so much easier aside as we did not have to stress with buying tickets, we just hopped in and off and used the SBB app to see train/bus info and told us platforms etc. so easy!
Food-All food we did got from the local grocery store called ‘Coop’. We got breakfast, lunch, and dinner there and saved us loads of money. Fresh baked goods, sandwiches, salads, fruit etc. Also get your Swiss chocolate from here 😉 Migrolino also a nice grocery store.
Currency-Switzerland: Swiss Francs (CHF); France and Germany: Euro
*Note-We brought a large backpack for our clothes and a small backpack for outings. Instead of a large backpack, would bring a large wheelie suitcase instead so I don’t have to carry everything.
