Dan and I had a random weekend away from Basel, which coincidentally coincided with US Thanksgiving. It was our first trip to a Scottish city and it really lived up to our expectations.

Hiking at Giw (Visp)
Slowly I am catching up on my postings! Two weeks ago Dan and I took a hike in the Alps in probably the best weather possible. Fantastic views and colors blessed us for the entire day. Come along for the hike – without even raising your pulse 🙂
Walensee in the Autumn
Now that I have finished the post for Bangkok/Bhutan, I can focus on a couple of things I’ve done since my return to Switzerland. Below is a day ride to the Walensee area, the mountains just southeast of Zürich – and really close to Lichtenstein.
Do you have something to say to me?
My sister just informed me that the Comments area of my recent webpages wasn’t showing up!!!
I have no idea what might have changed in the settings, but thanks to her looking out for me, I went in and changed them all to “allow comments”.
So bring it on! Over a year’s worth of posts are out there; maybe one of them sparked a thought or question?
Beautiful Bhutan
I am finally getting this adventure down in ones and zeros! I caught a nasty cold on the flight home, so I haven’t been up to doing much at all lately. However, I am now feeling better (not 100%, but getting there) and the words are slowly filling the page.
The first page is not, however, about Bhutan. Before getting there we had to go through Bangkok. I tried to paint it in a good light but I just couldn’t do it. To those of you who love this city, I apologize. To everyone else, I present to you: my own view of Bangkok.
Hiking to the Surreal
Ever on our quest to hike as much as possible, Dan and I took a trip to the mountains to explore one of Switzerland’s more popular Alpine hikes.
France: Castles and Wine
A family trip (by car!) to the Alsace region to enjoy some sightseeing and wine tasting.
A full day’s ride in Switzerland
WARNING: Photo heavy!
I decided to reward myself with a full day’s ride on fun Swiss roads. The previous two weekends had been eaten by trips on high speed and boring motorways so I decided that today would be MY day. And what a day it was! I saw and did so much – it more than made up for the last few rides I’ve taken. There are a lot of photos, so prepare your internet for the onslaught!
Cherries and Cheese
A new rider and I take a short tour of the roads around Basel, stopping at some local farms for fresh treats.
Hiking in the Clouds
Dan promised that there wouldn’t be rain until 4 o’clock. Dan was wrong. Follow along anyway and enjoy the sights and sounds of Swiss cows!
