Switzerland may
be neutral but it is certainly not flavourless. The fusion
of German, French and Italian ingredients has formed a
robust national culture, and the country's alpine landscapes
have enough zing to reinvigorate the most jaded traveller.
Goethe summed up Switzerland succinctly as a combination of
'the colossal and the well-ordered'. You can be sure that
your trains and letters will be on time. The tidy, just-so
precision of Swiss towns is tempered by the lofty splendour
of the landscapes that surround them. |
