lakeside cosmopolitan
it is nice to move into a new country again (and be speaking French again), tho the transit from madrid was an eventful 21 hour bus ride! a nice atmosphere here mixing the peacefulness of the lake with the busy city bridging over it- a mixture of old ...
Lucerene
Today was a long travel day, without much to report. Most people were feeling the effects of the previous night, and slept most of the trip. We hit some pretty bad traffic just as we crossed the Swiss border and didn't get to the hotel until 8pm. The ...
Zurich
Touchdown Switzerland! We ditched our bags at the hostel and spent the evening with a picnic on the banks of Lake Zurich. Browny went in for a swim but I'm afraid it was a little chilly pour moi. In the centre of town we hired bikes and rode ...
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list
Yes, I know, technically I haven't left Europe yet, but I thought I might fill you in on what has happened so far. First and most importantly: I got my visa! My passport was thankfully returned to me with the visa inside, looking better than ever. Now ...
Downtown Geneva
Got to take a better look at Geneva today... Took the bus downtown and walked around/window shopped for a few hours. Basically downtown is streets and streets of old buildings that are mostly shops and restaurants- most of the stores are shops like ...

Multiple train connections...
... final destination, Interlaken. As we walked to our hostel, we were immediately amazed; it looks exactly like how we imagined Switzerland and we haven't even seen the mountains yet. We weren't exactly sure where the place was, but ...
Switzerland
... I love. I want to put braids in my hair and yodel. I'm not kidding. I want a house in the Alps. Switzerland's roads are on the edge of lakes and through tunnels. LONG tunnels that go through the mountains (the largest one in ...
RICOLA!!!
It has been a great day in Zurich. We slept in until 9 this morning before heading out to see the city. Since we are so messed up on what day it is, we did not even realize that is was Sunday here. Therfore, all of the shops were closed all day. So that ...
How many times?
After sitting in Nairobi Airport for nearly nine hours I finally got on my first ever Swiss Air flight. Lucky enough to be travelling business class for the eight hour, night flight I was a little disapointed to see that the seats where only a ...
Castle,Cheese, and Cog Wheel
I don't remember the last time I slept for 9 1/2 hours. I guess when you had only 2 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours that would do it. The light on the mountains was awesome at 6:30 AM. I don't think anyone could get tired of looking at the lake and ...

Two ponchos
So yesterday after we got back from the rafting we showered and went downstairs to get some beers and cheese fondue. It was all delicious! Tipsy, we went to town and tried to find ice cream. Got that and it was awesome. Today we got up early to go ...
Verbier Extreme kisahumua
Täällä ollaan taas rauhallisessa La Gravessa. Mahtava reissu oli Verbieriin mutta kovin se oli rankkaa.. siellä elämä on kyllä niin sosiaalista, kun ihmisiä on pilvin pimein, suomalaisia ja tuttuja vaikka kuinka paljon, aktiiveja muille jakaa ja ...

A Rendezvous in Geneva
We arrived in Geneva at 530 AM and immediately got shuffled through border control. The border control was pretty silly-- they had a ridiculous dog that was supposed to be sniffing for drugs or bombs or something, but it was clearly only partially ...
Where Americans become street begars
Our first day in Zurich we arrived late in the afternoon and didn't have time to do much except shop for some fruit at the co-op. The second day was a bit more interesting. We got up and did a great hike on the top of the surrounding mountains just ...
Everything always works out in the end.
Its the start of day three and i can safely say that my sister can now out party me. Either that, or the mix between the jet-lag and elevation change is giving me the worst hangover I’ve experienced to date. ...
