Visiting Grindelwald and Glacier Gorge

Saturday it was the 1st day of summer. It was beautiful sunny weather. We were in Grindelwald village. A village that a must see when you are in Switzerland. It is the oldest and glacier village in the region of Jungfrau. Grindelwald surrounded by beautiful amazing Alps. We enjoyed our tour in this small village. There are many tourists walking down the road and busy buying souvenirs in very expensive stores. After taking tours in the village then we went in glacier gorge, it is about 2 kilometers away from the village 35 minutes to walk but it is also possible to ride the bus. It was amazing rocks, great and interesting to see that glacier canyon. I think definitely hundreds feet deep in places, it is impressive. Few minutes we walked down, I felt cold because I just wore think blouse and leggings. I did not handle the coldness. I worried for my self and of course, I was worried too to my son because he just has t-shirt and one jacket and not thick too. I think it was several hundreds 100 meters pathway to reach the last point, we didn’t reached the last point because I have cold. Maybe the rest we will be visit again this place someday. To see more interesting attractions.

Arc de Triomphe in Paris

After an hour spent time at the top floor of Eiffel Tower our next stopped was the Arc de Triumphe, the world largest Triumphal Arc. We was walk because its walking distance only from Eiffel Tower so my husband and I decided to walk so that we could see also some interesting buildings, boutique and others. I was so eager to see this building how so great sculpture and the building. When we were there, I never expect that bunch of tourist again. The arc of the triumphed is not high, than Eiffel Tower so we decided not to go up at the arc triumphed and because we have been at the top floor of Eiffel tower already. I think the perfect view to see the city of Paris we prefered Eiffel Tower, but for those not at the top floor of Eiffel Tower, I think Arc De Triumphe is also the best views of the City of Lights of Paris.
