Blissfully happy in Switzerland
There. If that isn’t the picture of perfect happiness, I don’t know what is. Of course, this was taken at the top of Sefinenfurgge, a mountain pass at 2612 metres. So that was an elevation gain today of slightly more … Continue reading

A brief break in the rain

Murren
Every place else was just an appetizer. Murren is the main course. This is the place of my heart and soul. This is the place I feel at home. It just feels so right to be here – even in … Continue reading

Feldkirch
Before I write anything at all about the day, I’d better first explain that the photo is looking down at the town through one of the battlement windows of the Schattenburg, a castle built in 1200 and something. Here’s a … Continue reading

Tired, footsore and deliriously happy in Hippach
