Well the title of our blog should really change. We are no longer in Medinat Yisrael, we are in Medinat Suisse. And we have wasted many superlatives up until now because the mountains and lakes and the toilets are all amazing. It was really rough leaving Israel even though we had an incredibly generous 2 a.m. ride to the airport from our new friend, Fay. The kids did not really sleep again. So you can imagine how rough some portions got. The low point was probably when while collecting our luggage in Zurich we realized we had lost an inconsequential little duffle bag containing an aluminum water bottle, some extra kid clothes... and cute little beaded bag containing my driver's license and credit cards. We decided not to sweat it figuring it probably got blown up at Ben Gurion or something.
After changing our minds 3 times about (and returning and refunding) what rail pass to buy (we were REALLY tired) we got our selves on a train to Luzerne and the oohs and aahs have not stopped. We will be home so soon; its very strange.
Anyway, the fact is that if I told you all the things we did today it would take me an hour and its already midnight. Must go to sleep and dream of a plan for tomorrow, our last day of sightseeing.
