Our trip to Denmark and Switzerland was great! Some of the memorable parts of our stay in Copenhagen were taking a boat trip to some out of the beaten path places, checking out the oldest bakery in that city, visiting Rosenborg Castle and having dinner in Nyhavn. The next town we visited was Lucern in Switzerland and there we had the opportunity to take a ferry over gorgeous lake Lucern to a cog-rail train station and from there to Mount Rigi which had amazing views of the lakes below! We also had the best gelato on the promenade by the river and listened to some awesome jazz at the World Band Festival that was taking place there at the time. Not to be missed is the Lucern Museum of Transport. In our next city, Bern, we visited the beautiful Bern Cathedral where the organ was being played by one of several world class musicians who come to Bern just to play on this organ, magical! We also loved the collections being shown at the Bern Art Museum! The Paul Klee museum was also amazing if you’re into art! So all in all this was again a fantastic trip thanks to the Kim Kim team and especially Valentine, who was our trip coordinator.

I’m sure this would have been a great activity but we missed it because it was raining pretty hard on this day and we had to travel there by train so we went to the Transport museum instead. But I did text the place saying we couldn’t make it.
