We requested for a late set off since the group decided against the optional excursion to Bern. So we walked down the streets of Interlaken once more after breakfast to admire the town in its morning glory.

Day 5 was the most fun day of the trip. As daylight breaks, the picturesque Lucerne Lake came into sight.

 

While waiting for the missus to get ready, I opened the windows braving the chilly winds, climbed onto the table and sat absorbed in the blue hour portrayal of the surroundings.

Day 3

 

Before bidding farewell to Paris, we headed over to La Vallée Village, a factory outlet where off-season luxury labels are sold at a bargain.

 

Apparently, the Long Champ bags are a steal as the ladies simply raided the shop. The elderly auntie in our group had like 10 bags hung over her arm!

 

After the shopping spree, we rested @ Starbucks over complimentary coffee and muffins. We then set off for Switzerland, stopping over for the night at Nancy, Lorraine.

 

We got a shock later on when we were asked to pay €25/ pax for the visit to the shopping outlet. Apparently, the guide had told some people in the group who agreed to pay for it. But she had not sought the consensus of the entire group. But kudos to the 2nd guide, he refunded all of us the money upon learning about the miscommunication.

 

Day 4

 

We went on an excursion to Titisee, Germany where we experienced snow for the first time.

Day 2 was our free-&-easy day since we did not sign up for the optional tour. With a metro map in hand, we charted out our day’s itinerary over breakfast.

 

We touched down in Paris in the morning and began right away with the city tour.

Our honeymoon could not have gotten off any better.

 

We flew Emirates A380 and we were given the last row of window seats; which meant breathtaking views, privacy and ease of accessing the lavatory.
