BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE
our pilgrimage (literally) to the therme vals by peter zumthor in switzerland

got up at 4 am to catch our 4:21 train to florence
then from florence to milan, milan to zurich, zurich to chur, chur to ilanze
and finally a bus ride on the mountainside from ilanz to therme vals
TOTALLY worth it, and every train ride in switzerland was breathtaking

i know i said italy is the most beautiful country in the world, but switzerland is DEFINITELY giving it a run for its money
switzerland is a whole other kind of beautiful
the mountain-kind of beautiful, my FAVORITE kind:)

one snapshot of the train ride there
it looked like this for like an hour :)

IT'S THIS PRETTY EVERYWHERE
THERE ISN'T A SINGLE SPOT OF UGLY IN SWITZERLAND

at the train station

this way to the BEST WEEKEND EVER

the lobby at the hotel therme

at the breakfast buffet
20 different kinds of breads, jams, tea, and yogurt. fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheese.
needless to say, a perfect way to start the day

the fluffiest bed ever, as melynn is modeling :)
it was like getting eaten by a marshmellow

we could see the steam coming from the outside bath from our hotel room

some other beauties from standing on our balcony
i promise these are for real


and now pictures from inside the baths
didn't want to risk a wet camera so i didn't take it into any of the rooms
pictures wouldn't do it justice anyway, it's really about the experience of being there yourself
and technically pictures aren't allowed, it was not easy trying to hide my chunky SLR under my bathrobe

also got a massage in the morning. it put me to sleep and then she made me tea while i sat on a chaise and looked out one of these pictures windows

all of us
look how happy and relaxed we are :)
