Around lake Léman: Vevey, Yvoire, Nernier, Nyon & Geneva
Solo trip to Lucerne
Lucerne (and its surroundings) seem to have been taken out of a fairy tale. With its elegant buildings surrounding the clear lake, Lucerne is a Swiss jewel!
Although I had been here when I was younger, I didn't remember much except for Lucerne's famous Kapellbrücke (the wooden bridge with flowers all over).
Biking along lake Léman
