Royal St Georges Interlaken

... chair where we could stop and admire the view. Catching the cable car back down to Lauterbrunnen, we saw the waterfall which plunges from the mountain to the valley in the middle of town. We walked up to the town and found a cafe which had pies soup and good coffee. It also had an English book exchange which thrilled Katelyn as it had one of the Twilight books. English books have been few & far between in Europe.

... to where we were standing and started clucking at us. I guess that their owners must cluck at them when they feed them or something for us to get that reaction!

When we stopped laughing we continued our walk through the town and hoped that on the way back the chickens would be back under the hen house so we could do it again and get it on film. No such luck though, they were all in the yard still and when we clucked at them they raised their heads then went right back to what ...

The forecast was for a hot weekend in Lyon so Karen, Samatha and I decided to escape to Interlaken, Switzerland. Unfortunately Jon could not join us so it was a girls weekend. We didn't get Samatha to try cheese fondue but she discovered the Swiss verson of chicken nuggets. Can you say pork?

Interlaken was ...

... Glacier. Given the age of the place it’s no wonder we have to walk across the hall to the WC. This is, in spite of that inconvenience, one of the nicest places we have experienced in our three months in Europe.

There are no souvenir shops or gawking tourists (besides us!…everyone else seems to be Swiss). From the hotel it is a nice hike to the next pass with a great view of the Eiger, the Wetterhorn etc. etc. On our first full day here we did that hike ...

... may miss Paris altogether???? I don't like the French at all. I met a really great Italian guy on the Rome to Milan route... so much friendlier than the likes of British trains. The internet is a ridiculous 5 francs for 30 minutes so I won't be internetting much here in Zurich. Like Dublin, the accommodation was all booked out so I've had to resort to a 2 star hotel for 80 francs a ...

I arrived to Zürich after a wretched flight with AirCanada. I really don't remember all the bad things about the flight so much because time has passed with so many good sights, feelings, and memories filled their place. But, on the plane over, I sat next to a Swiss guy who claimed to be 20, probably more like 18 tho. He was from Chür, which is ...

Hello intrepid travel followers, Well as the song goes 'Its been a long time, long time, long time' but I am alive and well and still on my ski's and driving my van around Switzerland. Things have been quite busy here recently plus the snow has been amazing so I ignored you lot in favour of spicing my skiing up. The last update I gave I promised to fill you in with the events of my trip to Austria and what a trip it was. an apparent 2 hour journey ...

... rafting. Nick, Matt, Del, and I piled into the van with two other guys and about fourteen girls. Once I mentioned to the girls that I'd been skydiving, they were all present to my story. Some cuties, though they all seemed 18 or 19. River Rafting. It's a whole process just changing into the wetsuits. First, there's the undressing down to your bathing suit. Station 1 hands you these skin tight pants, station 2 arms you with an equally tight torso layer, then you add a second ...
