Day 8 Running round in Switzerland

Early in the morning, we packed and left our awesome hotel room and headed off for our walking tour around Switzerland.First off, we headed of the Lion monument which a famous landmark in Lucerne. The monument we visited is a replica of the original which is really really small. The monument is carved out by the side of a huge rocky cliff. It commemorates the Swiss guards massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution.

With my kind MOOOOOOOO

Next, we went to the Chapel Bridge which is another famous landmark in Lucerne

After which, we went watch shopping at Butcherer. We were given like plenty of time to shop for a watch of our liking but instead of grabbing a new watch for myself, I got me some spiky boots at a shoe shop around the corner and my mum got a new pull over (Y)

After a long long time at the watch shop, we headed off towards Berne. We drove for quite a distance before arriving at our first stop, the bear pit in Berne. There was suppose to be 6 bears there but after a long search we only managed to find one lonely bear eating grass on the side of the area.

Cause there is no real bear to take pictures with

After looking at that cute little bear, we went off for lunch. Shared half a chicken with my mum (bought it at the super market where we bought our chocolates) It tasted quite good for "cheap" food in Europe

Our tour group literally swiped all the chocolate off the shelves. I bought a little, the rest really bought A LOT!! Giotto is like one of the best chocolates there that we could find. It's something like ferro rochette but just without the nut inside and it's like filled with the same thing as kinder bueno. Tastes awesome

After the shopping break, we continued on our journey to Dijon, France. It took us 4 hours to reach and by the time we were there, it was already dark.

Along the way, Karlina showed us a movie (at the request of my dad LOL) it is Taken. (I believe it was to scare us) It's a story about 2 teenage girls going to Paris to follow their idols and they ended up being kidnapped and sold off as prostitutes. It's really scary especially if you're like going to Paris the next day. FREAKY MUCH!!!

After being on the road for so damn long, we finally arrived in Dijon! It was already dark since the sun sets early during Winter and we had our dinner at the hotel. The hotel that we were staying in is like a small inn. There is a play area with and Xbox360 and many other stuff for kids to play with and most importantly , there was wifi. The hotel is only 2 stories tall and our room is right at the end of the block on the ground floor. Having the corner unit is not always a good thing, our room is right at the end and beyond that is forested area, there are no lights, nor wee there any bright lamps nearby (it's kinda creepy and dangerous actually) After dinner, we had our own free time and my family went out to play with the laser that we brought along from Singapore. We could see the laser beam and that shows how dark the area was (and how creepy it is)
