Travel Blogs from Switzerland
Coming out of a low.
This is a top pick! Jule, you will be happy to know that I have your pebbles from Switzerland... will try to post when I get to a cheaper country. I've been on a real low over the last 2 days, as my travelpod entries will probably show. But I think I'm coming out of it ...
TOBLERONE, BRATWURST, AND FLUBBLE
This is a top pick! ... : it was Gatsigaz. He was a black-skinned Rwandan, now working as an assistant high school chemistry teacher. He'd come to Switzerland as a refugee. Maybe he'd been trying to escape his first name. Sorry. Revocat and I stopped at Mumra's tomb to ...
WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT LAST TIME
This is a top pick! ... pasta that sixty-seven-year-old Mario has ever cooked, I couldn't get a ride, so I walked the remaining six miles to Switzerland. I camped there, at 2700 feet altitude. I watched up from my cold tent, past the four Alp mountains that walled me in like ...
I have died and gone to heaven
This is a top pick! So not only have I finally picked up the scooter - I have ridden into some of the most spectacular countryside on this earth. Outback Australia is very cool - and Lauterbrunnen could not be more of a contrast - and I LOVE them both ...
Why does it always rain on me?
This is a top pick! Woke up to realise that it was STILL raining! My leg was feeling much less painful so after deliberation we decided to get all the wet weather gear out and just go for it. Didn´t fancy another day stuck in the tent anyway. Everyone else at the ...
This Perfect Day
This is a top pick! The sun was shining and the sky was a clear blue but we couldn't see the Alps. We drove down the valley to Schaffhausen and the Rheinfalls. The falls were impressive but the most incongruous creature was in the carpark - a camel !!! No idea what it ...
Les chiffres
This is a top pick! Quarante, cinquante, soixante, soixante-dix, quatre-vingt, quatre-vingt-dix... ??! Y'en a qui se sont déjà demandé pourquoi après soixante les chiffres cessaient d'avoir leur propre nom??? Quand on y pense ça fait un peu "orto"!! Comme si on avait ...
Gryon at last!
This is a top pick! ... perfect travel buddies and couldn't have imagined doing it any other way. We have finally made it to Gryon, Switzerland. This is where we plan on hanging up our backpacks - for a little while anyway. Gryon is a small mountain ...
gotta do some banking
This is a top pick! ... in that room. I guess I look suspicious. A few days later I read in Time magazine that a similar watch display in Bern, Switzerland was robbed and thieves stole over $100,000 worth of watches. I guess I can understand the armed guard at the clock ...
Gryon
This is a top pick! Mon dieu mon dieu mon dieu que la Suisse c'est beau!!! Sans doute le plus beau de mes 10 pays visites! Comme internet est tres cher j'ai commence a ecrire quelques textes a la main et les re transcrirai ici un peu plus tard. Avouez que vous vous ...
Never underestimate the value of clean clothes
This is a top pick! ... of Raclette - basically it's melted cheese over potatoes and meat and salad etc etc - anyway, it was really really delicious. Another dinner guest was Suzanne who was a fascinating lady born in Peru and working in Switzerland as an artist and a ...
Finally, snowboarding in Switzerland
This is a top pick! I finally got to snowboard today in Switzerland. Let me tell you, you haven't really snowboarded until you ride the Switz mtn. This was vastly different from my Poland experience and the runs are huge here in Switzerland. You first take ...
Chouette la chuisse!
This is a top pick! 12 heures de voyagement plus tard il est maintenant a Zermatt en Suisse! Premiere impression: maudit qui fait frette! haha! J'aime ca! Hier a Rome j'ai eu de la misere a dormir tellement il faisait chaud et maintenant il fait 13 degres! J'ai vu ...
Down in memory lane in Geneva, Switzerland
This is a top pick! We left my parents place for about 2 weeks and we went to Switzerland... through their busy schedules and work times, we managed to see 4 sets of friends...some we have known for over 25 years... even before we got married... so we went down memory lane, ...
Dear Mum... my new address is...
This is a top pick! ... the next valley over. We put the battery on to charge and went shopping for some lunch. Everyone is right - the prices in Switzerland are horrendously expensive. Milk is nearly $3 per litre, meat is at least $22 a kilo and even Swiss chocolate is more ...
A long journey, but totally worth it..
This is a top pick! <Brian's brief chronological list of "highlights" (and of whinging)> - Left early for a 10 hr train journey to the Swiss Alps. The Swiss Alps looked awesome and stunning with the snow capped mountains and forests. There were even ...
Bed, Breakfast and Lunch..
This is a top pick! ... today... just walked around Lucerne... - Bought a bunch of pocket knives for souvenirs... as you do when you're in Switzerland. - Used the EEE pc to get free wifi... <Lang's Extended Version> A breakfast ...
Planning and packing
I used to enjoy packing for a big trip, challenging myself to bring as little as possible while not missing any necessities, and I was quite good at it, though I still tend to pack a few things I don't use. Five weeks in Thailand was easy to pack for. I ...
A Wizz in the Alps
This is a top pick! <Brian's brief chronological list of "highlights" (and of whinging)> - Did a 6 hour round trip (most of which was hiking) from Murren to Stechelbach, then the Trummelbach falls, then Lauterbrunnen and then cable car back to Murren. ...
2 mois maintenant
This is a top pick! Hey ho! Je suis arrive a Lucerne en Suisse mais je n'ai pas vu grand chose. J'ai fait du voyagement pendant 3 heures et a mon arrivé il pleuvait alors j'ai siesté. Mon auberge est un HI alors c'est H-I-é! haha! la pognez vous? Je suis dans un ...
Extract: ahhh noooo!!!! i said as if diving ...
This is a top pick! ... cut through towering Alpine mountains, crystal blue glacier lakes and rolling green fields, picturesque to say the least. Switzerland's little jewel... -- Balmer's Hostel Although a little reluctant after our stay in the student accommodations in ...
Switzing It Up
This is a top pick! ... I am mostly conversing in French, and it is so nice to actually understand what is happening. On my way to Switzerland by train, the train's front lights went out and the train was delayed 25 minutes because it runs through dark tunnels through ...
A most pleasant train journey
This is a top pick! Our flight to Geneva was at midday leaving us no time to do any further site seeing, so we spent a relaxed morning until our mini bus trip back to the airport. It is a shame to be leaving Budapest so soon. I liked what I had seen and would probably ...
Down in memory lane 2 in Zurich, Switzerland
This is a top pick! More photos! here are friends we met in Zimbabwe, 23 years ago... Mary and Kevin were teaching in the same school as us and Rene was the doctor who helped me deliver Tristan... more memories, more good food, more laughs...I think we are gaining even more ...
Full circle
This is a top pick! ... 2 more minor passes on our way back to Bern arriving at Sabine's house at 5pm. It was such an unusually hot day for Switzerland and Sabine immediately bundled us off to the swimming pool to cool down. I opted for a snooze in the shade but Sabine and the ...
The city with drinkable fountains
This is a top pick! Unlike my entry about Interlaken, this time I will let the words tell the story while the camera takes a well-deserved rest. In Basel I got a vivid taste for what Swiss culture is. I'll go through my experience chronologically. After farewelling Sonya ...
Def a WOW moment!! :-) :-) :-) :-)
This is a top pick! ... Lauren! Rach, Big Rob, Lindsay and I then sat by the lake whilst I fulfilled a life dream - eating my Swiss Chocolate, in Switzerland, whilst looking at the Swiss Alps!! Photos in the the album... :-) After that we walked around for a little bit - and ...
Off to Lausanne
This is a top pick! ... it was back to the hotel to collect our bags & head for the train station, Gare de Lyon, to catch our train to Lausanne, Switzerland. If you're ever catching a train there be sure to go to the right part of the station. We were waiting for the train ...
The Swiss Alps!
This is a top pick! The Swiss Alps! I have read about this mountain range and seen pictures, but nothing was going to prepare us for the sheer size and magnificence of them. We stayed in a small tourist town at the base of the Jungfrau: Europe's tallest mountain (just over ...
