Day 8 - Einsiedeln

Our last day in Switzerland was spent in Einsiedeln, a city named after its abbey. Cihan had wanted to visit for a few years. During our visit, thousands of Tamil Hindus were making a pilgrimage there. We took a tour from a local and also made it to another cheesery (Schaukäserei) in the evening before collecting dad from the train station at 6 from his final bagging day. We then went in the chapel and saw the Black Madonna, which dates back to the 15th century.

After sampling James Joyce's favourite wine (according to the man who gave us a tour of the James Joyce foundation in Zurich) which we'd found in the supermarket, we had pizza and a walk up the hill above the abbey, followed by a few beers.

Switzerland, we'll be back! 🇨🇭Read more
