You would love it there. Chocolate is really cheap and food is too. Alcohol was expensive in the towns but cheaper than at home in the rural pubs. The people are very friendly and extremely trusting. There is hardly any crime there, even in the city.
Next time I go I'm going to get a room at the pub because walking a mile across a mountain in the pitch black of night while drunk was hard work 'cos I kept getting lost.
It's also a myth that Swiss trains are never late. The first one I caught was 10 minutes late, but I was allowed to smoke on the platform unlike in Britain, which was a bonus.
The woman are very nice

What little they know.
I definitely want to go again but with a car so I can travel around more.

Same same when traveling in smelly foreign parts for me. A mix of John Wayne, Denzel Washington, and Elvis Presley.
