It took a bit of time to get used to a left-hand drive car as the last time I had driven was almost a decade back.
BHPian BlackPearl recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
It is not very often that we take flights for a trip and the last time was in 2020 when we went for a couple of days to Nice. We had thoroughly enjoyed that trip and it makes a lot of sense if one is looking for a quick getaway.
This will be more of a photo-log. The trip included quite a bit of walking and hiking along with some amount of driving. It was planned in a haste as we wanted to hike in the Alps before onset of winter.

We hired a car from the airport. I had specifically asked for a manual while booking online, but they did not have any option when we went to the counter of Avis rentals. Settled for a Fiat 500x but not without muttering about my displeasure. It took a bit of time getting used to a left-hand drive car as the last time I had driven was almost a decade back in the USA.

Stopped for a quick bite on the way to Saas Fee.

It broke my heart that Bolero is a Taxi even in Switzerland
