Switzerland & Italy Trip

Mike had to go to Switzerland for work so Niki decided it was time to fulfill a lifelong dream of visiting Italy. Niki flew into Switzerland at the end of Mike's work week and we spent 4 days there before heading off to Italy for another 6 days. Some highlights of Switzerland include: visiting two old chateaus (castles),































visiting a cheese museum, and eating fondue in the Alps.




















We also spent a day outdoors in the Alps by hiking up a mountain, then taking a cog train up another, and finally tobogganing down the mountain with a view of the Matterhorn.












Italy highlights include: making a wish at the
Trevi Fountain on Valentine's Day, awesome restaurants including one overlooking the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence,




beautiful art & museums,































Coliseum & Roman Forum, and of course eating Gelato everyday.
