We spent the afternoon lying in the sun on Lake Geneva. We then went over to the Olympic Museum and I found yet another Nonviolence Revolver Turns out that this is a replica the originals at the UN Malmo which I saw this summer and Luxemborg which I pla http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-315891.html I don't often drink so much that I am hung over the next day. Last night was apparently an exception. When I get like this I always think of the description of Peter Fallow's hangover in Bonfire of the Vanities an egg yolk in his head exploded into millions of silvery minnows swimming towards his fleshThe occasion was a barbecue at the lake for the students. I got there an hour late because I tur http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-305008.html I don't really have the time to blog right now but I know you'd all love to see some pictures so here ya go http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-304126.html Man has this week gone by so fast.

I mean early like at 2 am and had to switch trains in Bologna and Milano. It took us about 10 hours to get there but hey the reservations only cost 5 Euro so I was fine with it We traveled past Lake Como and through the mountains....it was sooo pretty We also pretty m http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-216426.html hello all wow it's been a few weeks since ive done one of these and what an insane few weeks its been after i last sent out a group email ive been all over the place first off was barcelona which was AMAZING.... its such a chilled out place and the weather was amazing... I spent a lot of my time just walking around and having fun at the beach which by the way so far european beaches or spa http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-191967.html We enjoyed our visit with our friends sharing our new home...letting the girls play. We had a 3rd birthday party for Bella with her cousins and her aunt Suzie and Uncle Bruce. It was very special and really helped us settle into our new community. We took a lake cruise around Lake Geneva Lac Leman and visited the ancient castle Chateau de Chillion....It was interesting as it was built in http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-191017.html Well....all the months of planning stress and worry are over. We have successfully sold our home our cars our furniture and pretty much everything but our children and our clothes. We have exchanged our spacious Texas home for a cozy rented 3rd story flat in the historic center of Lausanne Switzerland complete with 49 steps and no elevator. We now rely on public transportation and our http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-186815.html This from my journal while riding the train from Montreux to Luzerne Switzerland is the kind of country I would have invented if it didn't already exist. It's Disneyesque. It's Heidiesque. It's even a bit Pythonesque I realized when I noticed that some of my fellow travelers were dressed in suits but wear hiking boots and have ski poles sticking out of their rucksacks. I want to know where t http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-183939.html July 10 2007 Yesterday we took the Gatwick express to head to Geneva to visit Beth and Brian. Beth picked us up from the airport. They had been in France for a bike race that Brian was doing so we picked up Isabella the dog from the Kennel and then Sara their daughter of about 1 from day careschool. The day careschool looked like a little Swiss chalet. They live in a beautiful part of Lausan http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-181559.html Writing this from a haze of sleep. Our weekend was terrific...on Saturday we cycled to the airport then took the train to Lausanne and cycled 70 km in delightful weather to Yverdon Les Bains not really lesbians but that's what we call it It was a lovely ride starting along Lake Geneva up and down hills and dales through fields of barley and sunflowers past train stations and factories http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-173172.html Decide to stay another night at bike hostel since the washrooms are cleaner and the staff cheerier than any of this blog's readers. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-166266.html No bags no bikes shoes plus rain puts Andrew and Ray on train to Lausanne after visit to Geneva airport to advise of their departure for Lausanne. Cell phone useful to call airport several times throughout the day for recorded message that Ray's bags have not arrived. Dinner at elegant old high ceiling oil paintings train station restaurant in Lausanne. Beef tongue local cold meats and Dol http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-166264.html After a month on the road on mainly flat or undulating roads we turned with some trepidation towards the Jura ranges on the border of the French Comte region and Switzerland finding our hill legs at last. With visions of having to walk for 3 days pushing our bikes or perhaps off loading excess baggage down the side of a mountain we commenced the climb. We rode the D437 to Pontarlier stoppin http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-160427.html Jaipur IndeSur ce blog je n'crirai rien du tout je l'envois simplement pour les photos et les vidos.

For example I could tell you how it feels to fall down in the heavy snow loosing grip on the steep mountain side. I could go on describing the sound your shoulder would make when snapping and being dislocated. Or how about getting rescued on high altitude with a sledge and then flown to the nearest hos http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-140009.html For those who know my itinerary you will know that i am coming home next week and have probably noticed that i am behind in blogs.

Apparently we found out after we left Switzerland we were supposed to stop at the border and buy a pass to use the Motorways or face a massive fine were talking about 2500 euros or about 4000 but of course no one bothered to tell us that and there were certainly no signs telling you. Even the nice police at the http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Switzerland/South-West/Lausanne/blog-74666.html We had planned to stay in Provence area for several days but heat unbearable in Avignon and surrounding area. In high 90s during the day with humidity 80 or higher. Didnt cool down much at night and with no fan or air conditioning in the RV was unbearable.
