The last 2 days in Switzerland flew by.
We spent time at the flea market held once a year near where we are staying and managed to find a genuine antique goats bell and bargain the price down with help from Max. It will make its new home hanging from the tree next to our spa.
We browsed through a huge local second-hand store and found a souvenier for someone at home... you'll have to wait and see.
We walked through farmland to see the huge stork nests well known in this area. Green fields with beautiful wild flowers and new-born lambs line the path and the farmers sell their produce and set up cafes in the warmer weather.
Max cooked us up a delicious cheese fondue for dinner and we put on 3 kilos.
Pete visited the Swiss Tyco factory Max is in charge of and had a traditional Swiss lunch with colleagues he has had to deal with over the years.
We attended an open day at a local Swiss hospital as they presented their state-of-the-art new hospital wing. How great it would be to work in this environment
Finally we had a farewell dinner at a local Italian restaurant and remenisced about our great week in beautiful Switzerland.
