Short Easter trip around Switzerland

Last weekend, three Belarusian friends of mine visited me from Germany. We had three days, a car, and plans to see Switzerland. In the end we saw some very famous landmark and some interesting places.

We started with Zurich, which has not only lake with swans, but also it's bar-on-the-channel Rimini:



Went to Luzern, and saw there not only the saddest monument of all times, but also this touching street ad:



After that we tried to went up to Pilatus, only to find out that the world's steepest railway was closed till May:


Three more cities, few more photos and videos, and much fun under the cut...


Visited the most disappearing waterfall ever in Lauterbrunnen:


Bathed in snow in Mürren:


Saw the most beautiful Swiss lake:


In Lausanne, the city with beautiful cathedral, and the smallest city with metro in the world, we drove that completely automatic metro train:


We crossed the border to France to stay in much cheaper hotel. We went by old border controls so fast that there are no photos at all.

Put the hands on the Broken Chair next to the UN building in Geneva, city of vintage Mercedeses:


Walked under the fountain, which discharges 500 liters in a second with a speed of 200 km/h:



Went to Bern, city, where the Lithuanian flag waves over the main street, to walk on the edge of the bridge:





And peeked into Ferrari engine:


All other photos are in my Picasa album:



Photos were shot by me and my friends: Nastya, Hanna and Jura.
