Still trying to put into words just how special this weekend was.
Switzerland has been on my bucket list for years and it completely lived up to the hype. We stayed in Basel at the Kraft Hotel with the River Rhine on one side and a Christmas market on the other.
We took a trip to Lucerne and headed up Mount Rigi and honestly, the views were unreal. Snowy mountains, fresh air and watching my daughter play in the snow made it one of those moments you wish you could pause.
We spent the evening in Zurich with a lovely meal and a visit to the singing Christmas tree which felt so festive and magical.
Sunday was slower and just as lovely. A morning at the Natural History Museum followed by wandering around Basel’s Christmas markets. There are a lot of them and I was very happy about that.
Lots of walking, very tired legs and very full hearts. Feeling so grateful for time away and memories I’ll treasure for a long time.
