Our last full day in Zurich was dedicated almost entirely to the Eras Tour. We just had one thing in the morning, which was our tour of the Lindt Museum at 11am. We got there right at the start of our tour time and did a self-guided visit, which came with an audio guide. It was cool seeing the exhibits explaining the history of chocolate making in Switzerland, as well as all the machines they use in their factories. The…
Our next day was our day trip to the Swiss Alps. It was by far the longest day in terms of traveling – we were going to be on the train for more than 5 hours for the entire journey.

Even though my bloodwork and numbers looked good, it’s still trial and error because you’re putting your body through something it doesn’t go through naturally. With this experience, I really empathize with people who have…
