Just writing few things to describe my experiences for the tour.
-——————
Day 1
Journey:
Its hectic journey for 17 hours from Mumbai to London, including layover in Muscat. We have to adjust the watch after every landing. People shop like crazy on Duty free shop, apparently they save taxes, hence can be purchased after showing boarding card. Liquor and food items sold in bulk.
Oman air takes care of passengers time to time food and DRINKS of choice. Vodka shots and enough of sleep, while enjoying screen and camera view of flight in Arabic and English.
Immigration is not an issue, if you stick to rules and queue. We could not see crowd elsewhere. Border force officials are fast and 500 plus people can be handled patiently.
Thanks for sharing Barood Bhai.
Nice travelogue. Waiting for rest.
Day6
Today we had the less engaged, so got the option to visit Bern, capital of Switzerland, with extra charge of €10 per pax, everyone agreed.
Started the day with Rhinefall ,
(If u want to go deeper till a rock above waterfall, pay € 10/5 and get the ticket. ( above 16/ below 16 age ). Child up to 6 is free. It is a fantastic view.
.
The restaurant nearby keeps local food and free WiFi. The Indian restaurant near the bus parking keeps pao bhaji, cuppa noodles, bada pao, masala tea etc.
.
After that we proceeded for Germany , covered Lake Titisee and nearby shops. Nice view of highway from backside in country side. Small huts and local market of black forest region.
.
Fruits are fresh we tried cherries {€ 6/10 for 1/2 or 1 kg), shared the 1 kg with another family.
Dont touch the fruits please. cakes and ice creams usually contains eggs. Had a rough handling at one shop, when enquired for veg food.
Seems they are not at all bothered with Indians.
.
One shop has installed cuckoo clock on the wall outside, must see during a walk with nearby greenery. Boating options and nice views for photography with flowers in background.
.
Visited bern in evening, Parliament house, water sprinkler just outside that. Local trams and buses for office goers. Buses also has 3 compartments , enf to ferry 100 passengers.
.
Free washrooms are rare, either purchase something at McD. Nice open areas and restaurants near parliament road. Nice hilly view backside of Parliament house. We could roam around that area inside outside. Even when the parliament was in session. Can’t imagine anything similar in india, so easily.
…
Proceeded back to Hotel after dinner at Tandoori Indian. A lot of travel back just to stay In same hotel.
Get an idea of dinner rate
captured this car outside our Hotel in Tyrol
