Early Friday morning we hopped onto a train and headed for Domodossola, Italy! It's such a cute little town. I'm a little bit in love with the Mediterranean countries and cultures; living in Spain I just felt that something in me clicked with the culture. I just love the happy mentality (and reggaeton - which I know comes from South America). ;)
Saturday was spent doing what all the Swiss people seem do on the weekends; hiking! We went to Meiringen, not too far from Bern - which I can absolutely recommend! There were a lot of different routes, some of which were still totally covered in snow! We took the Panorama route, which was absolutely beautiful with panoramic views (as the name might suggest).
Hiking is something I have never really done since I come from the nature. Originally I'm from a tiny town of 14 000 people, so basically the countryside. Not really, actually it's just basically a suburb of Helsinki, but there is a lot of forest and well, more forest. So I pretty much grew up running through the forests.
Also, hiking is not that big in Finland since, well, there are no real mountains unless you go far up north. But hiking in Lapland (far up north) is pretty popular, there are routes that you can take for days but just don't except to be walking up any big mountains!
Hiking was just what I needed, being a little into sports (some may say a little addicted) and being in nature, it was just the perfect thing. That being said, although I love nature, at this point of my life I could not live anywhere but a big city. And I'm in love with Berlin. Just a little bit.
Sunday before flying back we spent a couple of hours in Zurich, which I actually never visited before even though I've been to Switzerland a few times. Just getting a little glimpse of the city, I definitely want to go back with more time.
