<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Switzerland has been my childhood dream country and it was by stroke of luck that I found myself in Switzerland in almost unbelievable circumstances and an opportunity just propped up fr me. Though I could not visit any other city than Zürich on my way to Italy, even this two days stay was more than refreshing and memorable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some of the photos of my last day in Switzerland before leaving for Italy. But not before sipping a hot cup of Swiss coffee on the balcony of our motel.</span></div>

The photo did not come out as it was there right in front of me but is imprinted on my memory - something that can be described in words.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Frankfurt overnight stay was a rather disappointment for all of us as we expected a hustling bustling city with lot of tourists and malls. But we had selected a wrong day to be in Frankfurt. With the entire city closed, anything worthwhile that we saw was the overview of the city from the Galleria in the old city center and you may say the big bubbles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So we bid farewell to the city rather early and started our journey to Switzerland - for my childhood dream to come to true. For some unknown reasons, Switzerland always fascinated me, and it still does, and I wondered whether I would ever be able to see this heavenly country or not. But suddenly things turned in my favour when we made a hurried plan to visit my son studying in Germany and being Germany with a Schengen visa stamped, we were fully 'qualified' to move about in the Schengen countries.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While planning our stay, my elder son was mindful of the the fact that a hotel in Zurich, which was our destination, will not provide us the opportunity to see the real Switzerland and its scenic beauty. So he kept surfing the net and finally found a hotel in Lichtensteig, a small town some 57 kilometres due east of Zurich. Thus we started off from Frankfurt and at Karlsruhe we switched over Highway E15 to E52, and then switched over to Highway E41 bypassed Stuttgart and entered the Swiss border ahead of Singen. Then on we followed the Highway 4 till Winterthur and then headed to t</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">owards DestiMotel - a cool place to live in Lichtensteig.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We left Frankfurt but our leaving could have been disastrous as I made a blunder while driving and was almost overrun by this tram seen above. While driving on the right, I was to turn left for a turn and I ignored the tram coming behind me after I overtook it when it was stationed on a stop. It was the loud bells type horn from the tram that almost saved me. This was quite a 'Great Escape' and I thanked my starts for having being saved and hurriedly moved out of the city and headed towards the Swiss border.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Reaching the Swiss border was so refreshing and the welcome sign on the custom check post was so inviting for me to take a photo - but I did not know that we were not allowed to take the photos of the checkpost and I was spotted taking photos by the Swiss guards and were ushered to the side. Now this was a bad start into Switzerland and my dream of going and seeing Switzerland seemed to be at the crossroads. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, the staff was helpful in 'releasing' us after seeing our documents and of course after ensuring that I have deleted all the photos of the check post. I wish I had had those as remembrance of entering my childhood dream country - but perhaps the custom staff did not understand my childhood feelings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It took us almost evening time before we reached </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lichtensteig and it wasn't difficult to find DestiMotel - our hotel for the next two days in Switzerland. The motel was a sloped roof house turned into a motel for some tourists like us who preferred to visit the countryside rather than settling into rather crowded streets of Zurich.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were shown around the first floor by the owner, who also owned a heavy bike shop behind the motel. We had nothing to eat and the owner was helpful in taking my son in his jeepster to the almost closed only grocery shop of the town to buy eggs, potatoes and bread for our makeshift dinner.</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tired as we were, my wife hurriedly cooked scrambled eggs and we we had the steamy dish eaten away in seconds. We then hit the beds for tomorrow was to be a long day as we had so much to see in so little time we had - just one day!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have already mentioned how did we reach <a href="http://schengenphototravelogue.blogspot.com/2015/02/groningen-to-amsterdam-by-train.html">Amsterdam from Groningen</a> by train and why. Now this the very next thing that we did after reaching the main central railway station of Amsterdam. As we got out, just across the road were boats in the river and tourists were flocked on to these to have a boat ride of the city. </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking a Amsterdam canal tour or the boat ride dates back to 1621 when Queen Elisabeth Stuart of Bohemia was welcomed into the city in a parade of festively decorated admiralty sloops, with thousands of people of Amsterdam cheering on bridges and canal-sides. And since then, all visiting VIPs are taken around the city in the boats to continue with the tradition. So how could we skip the canal tour of Amsterdam!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were many packages - some offering entire day ride which also included off loading to any place of interest and then getting on the next boat. Since we did not have time as we had to go back the same day, we took the one-hour boat package. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Louvre or the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France is one of the most rich museums of the world that houses masterpiece art collection of some of the finest craftsmen and artists of the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently had the opportunity to visit the museum and was awestruck to see some of the 35,000 artifacts, paintings and statues that attract countless tourists and art lovers from around the world to visit the place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While Mona Lisa continues to be the most visited painting, the statues and sculptures are center of attraction too, carrying big names like Michelangelo and others. Herein under are some of the statues and sculptures I was able to capture on my camera:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I saw the movie 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' in my childhood, I always wanted to see the actual Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris if I ever visited Paris. And when I did last year September, I made it a point not to miss it in my list of Must See places in Paris. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some of the photos I took while visiting the Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris or when passing by it during the Paris night-boat ride. Although there was no Hunchback or beautiful Esmeralda, I could imagine both these characters around - you would too if you happen to visit Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vising Berlin and not going to the what remains of once the most dread wall of history - the Berlin Wall will be losing a life time opportunity. The remains of the wall today is the grim reminder of the difference between freedom and oppression. Although, we had just one day in Berlin, I made it a point to visit the Berlin Wall remains to hear the echos of cries and bullet shots that took lives of many who just wanted to breathe in freedom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Glory Hole (as can be seen in the photo above) was just a hole but a peep from it could show the freedom on the other side.</span><br />

The junction of BernauerStraBe and AckerstraBe was the that difference between freedom and oppression. The former street led into the East Germany, while the latter ran parallel to the Berlin Wall in the free World. The building below is the first building in the East German side and must have been a KGB office - keeping a close watch on the West Germans.<br />

And inside are the many graffiti that shows the sentiments and desires of the East Germans. Going along the wall, one could see so many of these written by unknown artists who did it at the cost of their lives.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Going to Paris and not vising Champs Élysées is not fare at all as all fashion of the world originates from the over one kilometre long fashion street. So after vising the Eiffel Tower, we headed to Place Charles de Gaulle square and towards the east of Arc de Triomphe. And after seeing the huge arc, Champs Élysées was our most logical destination which starts from the arc and goes on to Place de la Concorde.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although we could not go all the way to its end, as we had to rush back to the evening boat ride of Paris, we walked some distance and window shopped some of the best brands of the world fashion. Herein under are some of the shots we took of Paris' famous fashion street:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Champs-Élysées is located off the Place Charles de Gaulle square and towards the east of Arc de Triomphe. It is almost 2 kilometres in length and some 70 metres wide. On its both side one can see major French brand names on huge shopping malls. It also houses famous theaters and cafés.</span><br />

The end was too long and tiring and we finally decided to turn back and had the Arc de Triomphe in view as can be seen in the photo below since we were hurry to go back to the Eiffel Tower for the evening boat ride around Paris and see the illuminations that make the Eiffel Tower glitter like gold.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On our fourth day in Groningen, Netherlands, my friend suggested that we should visit Amsterdam - not by car, but by train. He said that this would give us a rest from our previous day's visit to Dolfinarium, but also provide us an opportunity to travel Holland by train. There was yet another reason for not going to Amsterdam by car - I will describe later when I will talk of 'Dam' - the Amsterdam city centre.</span><br />

This is my new blog which I am creating exclusive for the photos that I shot during my visit to some of the Schengen countries recently. Kiel, Germany was my launching pad to my travel to a number of Schengen countries and the landscape, scenery and landmarks of these countries not only charmed me but also took me to landmarks and places that I had since my childhood fancied and wanted to see.<br />

Although I have been sharing my detailed account of visit to Schengen countries in my travel blog JahoJalal, I cannot share all the photos as lengthy and posts over crowded with photos become boring. So in this blog I shall be sharing all those countless photos that I did not share or some which I would still like to share as these were the best I chose from the rest.<br />
