Sorry this didn't end up getting updated that much, too pricey in Europe!! There's a few photos though, use the summary list to see which entries have them. All in all covered Switzerland, Germany (though drunk :) ), Spain with a dash of London.

Up the hills to Leysin

The incredible mountain views in Leysin

Surely enough the train from Geneva arrived in Aigle, then I had a bit of confusion figuring out where to go next for Leysin but I got there.  The views of the mountains were jaw-dropping as  rose higher and higer up the mountain. 

I also really lived the crispness to the air, after being soaked in sweat from the humidity of South-East asia.  It was great to feel a little bit of a chill as I went up the mountain

Leysin is a very beautiful little town, and I enjoyed my walk around town to find the Hiking Sheep hostel.  This is a really big hostel, obviously set up to cater for way more people than were staying there.  It mustn't be peak season, since at the moment I think it was me and two American girls in the hostel (Karen and ??)

Later in the evening others arrived and I met Italian, Romanian and two French making dinner in the hostel.    I had a brief wander around town, but was really quite happy taking in the mountain views from the hostel balcony :)
