The restaurant, so meticulously arranged in traditional Kerala style was obviously a major hangout for exotic food lovers in Zurich, whereas we loved the pure nativeness of the food. Even the menu carried a distinctive indigenous dishes, whereas in real Kerala the options are westernized. We soon found out the popularity of the place ...

Ich habe mit Schrecken festgestellt, dass ich mich schon von einigen Leuten verabschiedet habe. Das heisst, es gilt langsam ernst und ich sollte nun wirklich mein Tagebuch eröffnen ( Wahrscheinlich wirds eher ein Monatsbuch ;-). Nun, das Rad steht bereit, der Kleinkram für die nächsten fünf Monate ist gekauft und es stehen nur noch ein paar unwesentliche Dinge auf meiner Liste. Von mir aus kanns also losgehen! Wie ...

... 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 ...
