Day eight—noooooo, this is almost the end of our trip—was full of more driving and sightseeing.


First, Laura's family, Ashton, Stephen, and I went to Gabriella's, a pizzeria, in Landstuhl. The pizza was better than Paradox, and they gave us little chocolates in the shape of bugs when we payed—again with the chocolate bugs! Maybe that trend will work it's way over to America soon.


We took the Autobahn back to Schaffhausen, making a couple stops in the Black Forest on the way. The mountains were beautiful. Photos don't do them justice.


After dropping off the rental car in Schaffhausen, we decided to make this our fancy dinner night. Ashton found a place called Ober Hof within walking distance of our apartment. I had easily the most delicious and fanciest cheeseburger and fries of my entire life—also the most expensive, but it was worth every Swiss franc.


Once we got back to our apartment, we realized we had all of this wine from our winery adventures in Germany, so we decided to take care of some bottles. This made us think, 'I wonder what night life is like in Switzerland on a Tuesday night.' So, we walked around Schaffhausen at 11:30 at night to take a look around. I felt weirdly safe walking around that late in a foreign city. Walking along on the cobblestone street with fountains and beautiful architecture was surreal.


Wanting to have the full Swiss experience, we took a drink from a fountain! I decided it would be a good opportunity to do a cartwheel, so I did! How many Americans can say they did a cartwheel in Switzerland? I can. I might just post that video later ...

At this point, we were exhausted, so we made our way back to the apartment and went to bed, ready for another adventure in the morning.

There are 300+ more pictures I couldn't possibly fit into one blog post, so I uploaded a slideshow. Check it out here: Switzerland 2015: Photo Album
