Venezia

We missed breakfast, had some amazing lunch, coffee and more coffee and decided to take in the sites.
After visiting the crazy crowds at St Marks square we did the tower views and decided to leave and walk around the more "Venicy"  local streets hunting for hope grown pizza.

Last night

We just had to do the Gondola ride where we went crazy with our cameras and then had the best Italian meal of my life at Paradiso. That Gnocchi melted in my mouth.
After that we did some walking around and did a lot of gorgeous Venice night photography to make the most of our last night. (until very late) 

En route

After hopping on a auto train completely accidentally, it was a miracle that we were on the right track. We finally made it to the Zermatt shuttle train from the next village over, Tasch

Venice smiles

On Route to Venice when some smiles finally start peeking through.

Milano

Finally reached Milan and got an executive suite upgrade at such a cool hotel in the heart of Milan. Boscolo Milano was really good to us.

Almost didn't want to leave. 

Theft

After strolling through a rainy Milan for some fun shopping action we stopped for an amazing Cappuccino at Oya right before getting robbed at the Milan Galleria.
After getting over the robbery we tried to drown our sorrows in some drinks at a local restaurant while watching Germany play at the world cup.

Bye Swizzers

We realized we hadn't enjoyed this amazing espresso dipped Swiss ice cream while we were about to embark on our drive to Italy. Then we were finally on our way to Milan.
Shippus Mecca. 

She made us do it. 

Zermatt

After shippu drove around a driverless city.. We really got to enjoy the quaint little town home to the matterhorn peak. Yes our fourth one. 
The back stage boutique hotel is a great place to crash.

Jungfrau Disappointment

After a two hour commute in trains and cars to get to the top of a very commercialized and over rated mountain, in heavy cloudy weather to boot, we actually enjoyed a nice meal on top of Europe.
We couldn't get any pics but the good was decent at the seafood restaurant and the ice Palace was cool to check out for 30mins but not worth the time and $$$

Our ride

This little golf did us well. And GPS was a must have... Right until it led us onto a train track or a car-less city or onto tiny streets with mobility scooters.

Schiltorn

Amazing views from 10000 feet. The summit at Schiltorn was the site for the filming of an old Bond movie. On her Majestys secret service.
