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.
Tag: Castles
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.
France: Castles and Wine
A family trip (by car!) to the Alsace region to enjoy some sightseeing and wine tasting.
Chiavenna, Italy
Dan and I took advantage of a long weekend by getting out of town – and out of the country. We rode the motorcycles to northern Italy to explore what this corner of the country had to offer.
Easter in the Pyrenees
Follow along as Dan, my nephew Matt and I spend five days getting to and enjoying the Pyrenees along the Mediterranean coast. Bonus: Lunch in Spain!
The French Connection
I volunteered to run an errand into France and explored a castle ruin on the way home.
Laufenburg CH & DE
A short, wet and interesting trip to visit the twin towns of Laufenburg.
It was short, but it was really nice to get out of the apartment for a little bit. And while we learned a few things, we also left with some questions.
New Years in Heidelberg
Dan and I took the train to Heidelberg for a couple of days. The weather was horrible but the company of our friends more than made up for it. Also, I’ll never leave “the good camera” home again!
Brisach – or Breisach?
Dan and I took advantage of some late-fall weather and rode our bikes through a bit of France and Germany.
Scotland!
The adventure continues… We pick up where we left off from our motorcycle trip to Calais.
