Hotel Brunner Meiringen

... de bomengrens was het pad ook niet meer zichbaar.. <br>Rechtsomkeerd dan maar; Voor de 4 uur naar boven hadden we maar 1.5u nodig om naar beneden te kunnen komen.. <br>Zucht nou ja. Volgende keer moet hij dan echt lukken!!!<br><br>De volgende dag hebben we dan maar genoten van de sneeuw en een heuze 2 meter hoge sneeuwpop te maken genaamd Werner :) haha!! <br><br>De laatste dag heb ik de keuken eens zeer goed aangepakt; alle kasten met ...

... 3 families: von Allmen, Brunner and Feuz. With 130 townsfolk sharing hte 3 surnames. To keep prescriptions and medical records straight, the doctor in nearby Lauterbrunnen goes by birth date first, then the patient's name."<br><br>It is definitely one of those places where if you were able to located some brocade curtains and stich yourself a pinafore, you could twirl around, channel Maria von Trapp, and belt our a rousing rendition of ...

... did a small but nice hike in the mountains the next day. It&#8217;s crazy how you lose your hiking skills really quickly. I felt like i was going to fall over every step I took. All over the valley, we could see para-sailers in the sky, it would have been awesome to try except it the damage was at least $170 each... bummer.<br><br>http://picasaweb.google. com/lh/photo/_RXGGfa-cjNcaDADRk_4xA?aut hkey=Gv1sRgCMTOwqr-zZGObA&amp;feat=dire ctlink

... door was in love but not married. And I, as the single one should go &amp; try some wine from him. It was only because she had gestured to him that we would be coming over that we went to say hello &amp; have a bit of taste of the wines he had to offer. He was a nice young farmer lad that strangely keeps his spatooty bucket to feed his pigs every day. He said he feeds them 1lt of wine each per day. Apparently it makes the meat taste better. We ...

... again to Lauterbrunnen along the electic light rail train, followed by the aerial tram down into the valley. At the train station, we purchased passes to *the top of Europe," the Jungfraujoch, for 200 Swiss francs. Our guidebook assured us that cost should not defer us from this excursion. We are thankful for our Swiss rail passes, which for this purchase saved us a substantial 50%. We again boarded a train to Wengen, and continued ...

... exactly 14 years ago to the day. I would have to say though the chocolate is the BEST part well and the beautiful Alps like scenery. Tomorrow we are taking a pricey tour which involves 90 minute boat ride around the lake... hoping for smooth waters and then some hiking, gondola riding, tram riding, train riding, and view of the town from very high up! It should be fun.... for the price it better be. Internet costs a bundle here so you may not ...

After spending two rather disappointing days in St Gallen in northern Switzerland, I was very glad to get on the road again to Lucerne. This was one of my least researched destinations, a gap-filler for the Italian Embassy really... So I arrived with no expectations other than some mountains and a lake. The second I set foot off the train I already loved Lucerne. I don't know why, but before I had even left the station ...

... birthday, I woke up early (4:30) to help move the calves to upper pasture. Cattle drive type of thing. It was cold and rainy, the 59 cows turned the trail into a sloshy mud/manure/urine mix, but I loved it. At the top we had homemade alpine snacks and shots of grappa. <br><br>Must go to work, it's 9:30. I won't be writing so much anymore, but don't be sad-- I've gone to a better place.

... it.<br><br>Notes on our way back from Lucerne: It is a lovely Old World city. The wooden bridge over the lake with its paintings of the history of Lucerne was really impressive and beautiful. Considering that it was done over 300 years ago is amazing. The Jesuit church, just a short walk from the end of the bridge, was just as impressive. The painted ceiling, the side altars, the main altar...WOW! It was glorious. Walking ...

The next morning was relaxing, because it wasn't a travel day, and I didn't have to pack. We would be sleeping in Lucerne again that night. Most of this day was free for us, except an afternoon excursion and supper. So early in the morning, Laura and I went back out to explore more of Lucerne and to shop. We crossed the walking covered bridge again, and spent some time enjoying looking at the blue waters of Lake Lucerne. We saw a few boats out on ...
