- Vacation Part One: Switzerland
I really love the idea of having seven weeks of vacation. I think that the U.S should adopted this policy and see how it goes. As most of you know, I just had a 10 day vacation from school. After Posted by jauntypag in Savoir Vivre: Life in France | Nov 5, 2009

Once the chalet developments were left behind, a leisurely gondola ride over a peaceful scene of pine forest and alpine meadow brought me up out of the valley with constant views of the Eiger and the surrounding Oberland summits as Posted by PeteB in Walking in the Alps | Oct 31, 2009
- Climbing the Breithorn
This must rank as one of my best days out in the mountains mainly thanks to the perfect conditions we enjoyed for the trip. The ascent of the Breithorn at 4164m or 13662 ft is just outside the normal remit Posted by PeteB in Walking in the Alps | Oct 31, 2009

Surrounded by the lifting mists which had hung just above Murren I began the ascent. Almendhubel is situated in an area of cool damp woods and grassy alpine meadows at an altitude of about 1800 m and the path (signposted Posted by PeteB in Walking in the Alps | Oct 23, 2009

Zermatt - June 2006

Not too much to say about the last couple of days... Yesterday mom and I went walking along the river which was beautiful! Saw lots of swans and cows and these cute little diving ducks! Then we walked up this Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Oct 20, 2009

Well, we’ve had a stressful couple of days in Interlaken but it’s stunningly beautiful here, so it’s hard to complain too much.
First off our train to Interlaken was a bit confused. After going for about half an hour on Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Oct 19, 2009

It was a really early start for me with the BBC filming as I needed to get to LHR for 7am. I also needed a hire car as mine wasn't big enough. George at TV6 arranged for me to pick Posted by LizaBrooks in Liza's Missions around the world | Oct 7, 2009
- Gimmelwald, Switzerland
This morning we headed off on a hike from Gimmelwald down to the Sefinental Valley. We came across a bridge that crossed a torrential waterfall that had gouged deep holes through the years in the side of the mountain. Posted by 60somethin in Adventures of Leigh & Sam | Sep 19, 2009

Beautiful weather especially after we nearly drowned in the rain in Venice. It was about 25 degrees and sunny and clear today. What an incredible view everywhere we look - we're getting sore necks looking up. This little town is Posted by 60somethin in Adventures of Leigh & Sam | Sep 18, 2009

Yeah that title got your attention. It's two kisses when meeting someone in France and three in Switzerland.

Interlaken, in the scenic Jungfrau region, is the first spot on our vacations where we really regretted not having extra time (our next hostel was already booked). We arrived in the evening to catch the end of a marching Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Sep 7, 2009

I arrived in Zurich quite late after a 6 hour trip on a train that lacked air conditioning. Although it was an uncomfortable trip, the views from the train were pretty amazing. There were seemingly endless mountain ranges, Posted by GenBlogs in That's What She Said | Sep 1, 2009

Hi all!
After a fabulous three weeks in Italy, we caught a train from Cinque Terre to Lucerne, via Madrid. Our train from Madrid was late (or "retardo" in Italian), making us miss our connection to Lucerne.

I finally found Dongyeol at the airport. He didnt recognize me. Apparently I look diffent than I did three years ago.He said I look younger. Great. I must look about 8 years old now.

Berlin proved to be a good time. Piotr was more than generous...wouldn't let me pay for much.

My plane was delayed for 3 hours, so I didnt arrive in Zurich until 11am. Unfortunately, I chose to follow the directions the hostel had put on their website, thus I failed to get off at the main station Posted by GenBlogs in That's What She Said | Aug 14, 2009

We took the bus back into Lucerne, and then to the base of Mt Pilatus. There we boarded the steepest cogwheel railway in the world (48% max incline)), and ascended from around 400m to over 2000m, first through lush meadows, Posted by bryceb in Europe 2009 | Aug 13, 2009
