Switzerland ♥️

#heidishostel

Someone had said 'Swiss cities remind me of that kid at school who is great at sports , has perfect hair ,the best girlfriend and the teachers love him . He is too perfect "

Switzerland like most of the people was always always on top of my bucket list . I have watched yash chopra movies and always dreamt one day i will go there and wear amazing clothes and look beautiful in this beautiful city . Well i did go but didn't have enough time or money to buy amazing clothes so settled for a nice jacket from m&s .

Our close friend one day just announced 'chalo Switzerland chalte hain . We were in Telford then so didnt require too much planning and we didnt want a guided tour . So with our 5 year old kids & prams ..we were ready to explore this heaven on earth ourselves ..

We have walked and walked pushing prams runnnnning catching trains , missing trains cause we didn't understand the accent . Prams would close not open ..or open and not close but we were dedicated only mission was to see as many places as we could .

I have observed i have been to many places as a tourist but i dont remember every detail of every place maybe because i didnt like it that much . Switzerland we went 13 years back and i still remember every small detail of that trip .

Our hostel at InterLaken which was a beautiful 3 bedroom flat u could see snow clad mountains when u opened the windows . A small sweet kitchen where we managed our breakfast and Tea.

Everything is so beautiful but needs planning . Friend with us had done the right research and so we did not waste a single day of stay . Ofcourse u cannot cover everything but then u can always hope to go back .

Mount Titlis, Jungfrau pass, StBeates Caves & Lake  Luzern were some places we managed to cover in 4 days that we spent there . 

Jungfrau was an amazing experience ..with snow hitting your face at such high speed it was something which i had never experienced before .

Overall super fun trip which we would not have had if it was a guided tour . 

People might suggest Austria or some other country which is more beautiful ..which is.. no doubt about that .. but nothing like a trip to Switzerland .

I envy the people living there who spend their lives skiing and eating chocolates .

Don't u think there is no seperate heaven or hell it's all here !

#honeytraveldiaries

Construction of Bara Imambara was started in 1784, a year of a devastating famine, and one of Asaf-ud-Daula's objectives in embarking on this grandiose project was to provide employment for people in the region for almost a decade while the famine lasted. It is said that ordinary people used to work in the day building up the edifice, while noblemen and other elite worked at night to break down anything that was raised that day. 

Really interesting ...

It houses labyrinth of about a thousand passageways, the Bhool Bhulaiya at Bada Imambara in Lucknow, has intrigued traveler as well as architects for the last two hundred years.

But what does the word ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’ mean? It’s not an easy word to translate, and it sort of means ‘a place where you can forget directions and paths and get lost’! :)
