Switzerland – Window shopping

By Mahesh 1 Comment | Last Updated January 31, 2016

We were eager  to visit at least one weekly bazaar in Switzerland, and got that opportunity at Vevey. While going towards the statue of Charlie Chaplin we saw a road bazaar we saw a road side seconds sell type bazaar where local people were selling various household items,  purses, toys, decorative items etc, so I had a chat with the seller lady and she said that it is not that all items are old and used but some of the items sold here are new !
the items were dirt cheap, like a good quality leather purse was priced only 5 CHF, unfortunately they were not ready to accept EURO or $ hence I went to get cash in CHF, but it took me an hour to find money changer, and when I was back the market got closed. here thing to note is that at Switzerland most of the shops starts closing from 6~7 pm and not like India where shops are open late night. so I lost the deal.
So keep this in mind and do keep local currency for such road side deals in case u get an opportunity 🙂

This snap was taken at Zermatt ,.,. where u get trekking sticks … various types ,, and most of the people trekking there using these ones .. here when I go for a trek .. sometimes as a fun I get the sticks lying in the jungle and use it for a while .,, but normally i hv not seen any trekkers here using these ones !! may be I believe such sticks may not be that useful in Sahyadri mountain ranges where the ups and downs are too high compared to Switzerland hikes …

As a curiosity I went on looking for the type of fruits available there at the  super markets … if u see today most of these fruits are available in Indian malls too ! the world is becoming small …

Now coming to wines .,.,, various types of local wines u can see in super markets … in India this is not allowed to be sold in supermarkets ,.,, and there are local shops having permit to sell these …
I tasted one of them and was good ,..,, i shall say similar to the Nasik wines …
