Lucerne
Innsbruck was a beautiful place. Coming in from Austria to Switzerland the alps didn't change that much but what did change was the amount of lakes. Switzerland was full of lakes. Around every turn was a new lake surrounded by a town of some kind. It was ...
Goodbye Switzerland

City of Nations
After a rather uninspiring (stupid winter) train ride along the banks of Lake Geneva, we arrived in the peace capital of the world. The aim was basically to see the UN headquarters, and any free museums that might be of interest. We weren't sure how ...
Bern

Rheinfall

Another town built on hills
Lausanne is only a half an hour train ride from Montreux, so very short indeed for us. Our hostel was only a 2 minute walk from the station and has a great set up. We dumped our bags and headed out, Lausanne is quite a small town built on a series of ...
Lovely Lucerne

Rainy Zurich
We traveled from Innsbruck to Zurich on the 10th. We were so warmly greeted by our Couch Surfer who was born in South Africa, so it felt a little like coming home. We washed our clothes for the first time in...................... 2 WEEKS! (no, we don't ...
A few little trips
... Apple Store where I had to run in and check my email. I know. Sounds crazy and almost pathetic that just arriving Switzerland that's one of the first things to do after going to McDonalds...but, with limited internet access in Weingarten you take it ...
Switzerland is Beautiful... even in the rain!
In the morning we got up super early to leave Germany and head towards Switzerland. Probably the most interesting part of the drive was listening to our tour guide (who could speak for hours without taking a breath) talk about all the interesting things ...

The Mountains Win Again

Antin luona Genevessä
Yhden aikoihin aloimme tekemään lähtöä Heikin luota ja tällä kertaa minä olin ratissa. Matkaa meillä oli Antin luokse Geneven lähettyville noin 550 kilometriä ja suurin osa matkasta sujui erinomaisen sujuvasti pitkin Ranskan moottoriteitä. ...
The Matterhorn and Zermatt
I was happy to leave Milan (which had all Italy's bad qualities and little of its good) for the clean air and green valleys of Swittzerland. My first stop was a little town just over the border called Zermatt, home of 3 attractions.. The Matterhorn ...
