    Due to the unusually high temperatures there was a heat haze every day bleaching most photos.
    Lake Brienze, an unbelievable turquoise.

    Spot the European, At least 2,000 Chinese were in Interlaken and everywhere else plus half of Saudi Arabia. They even had whole reserved trains for the Jungfrau trip.

        Switzerland was having the same heat wave as the rest of Europe and while we were there it was between 28/31c, even 22c in the evening, not what we were expecting in the Alps. It must look a lot different in the Winter and it would still be full of Chinese.
