St Gallen We arrived at St Gallen and jumped on bus number 3, we stayed on the bus for 6 stops and then Aunty Alice was there at the bus stop waiting for us. We walked back to her place, which was literally 2 minutes. Thank god she had a lift to the fourth floor as my legs were still killing me from the walk down the hill in Locarno with flip flops on. We put our stuff away, had a quick chat and then had a traditionally Swiss meal called Raclett. This involves heating up cheese on little trays and then drizzled it over our vegetables. We sat up and waited for Oliver ( Alice’s son ) to come home from work, had a quick chat then went to bed. The next day Alice & ... read more

Nachdem Marco und Nadia uns um 6.00 abholten und zur Zeit und ohne lästiges umsteigen, an den Flughafen in München gebracht hatten, stiegen wir auch bald darauf in den Flieger nach Paris. In Paris angekommen hatten wir noch ca. 50 Minuten Zeit ins andere Terminal zu kommen. Wir liefen, liefen , liefen und kamen dann auch irgendwann mal an. Wir mussten aus dem Passierbereich raus und dem entsprechend auch wieder durch die Sicherheitskontrollen. Dir Franzosen sind leider nicht gerad die schnellsten und beim Gate angekommen erwartete man uns auch schon. Aber statt uns dann endlich einsteigen zu lassen musste ich nochmals die ganze Tasche auspacken und Gürtel und Schuhe ausziehen.. :-( Der Flug verlief ruhig und wir kamen recht pünktlich in Chicago an. Dort fuhren wir mit dem Bus zum Mietwagenplatz raus und durften unser Auto ... read more

Busy, busy, busy...no time to make another entry on my blog! Far too much sinshine to get out there and enjoy :)) Today is Monday 26 May and time is running out fast. Late on Friday (23 May) Maia flew in from Scotland. Arrived back at hotel after 11pm and then talked, talked and talked. Only had a few hours sleep that night! Up and off to Lucerne the next day (Sat 24 May), Maia pretty impressed with the trains and first class travel! Accommodation in Lucerne very, how shall I say, interesting. Explored Lucerne for the rest of the day. Maia found out first-hand how difficult it is to find somewhere suitable for non-smokers to have dinner...walked and walked until finally our stomachs rebelled at any more walking and we sat outside and had dinner...got ... read more

6 de marzo de 2004 See translation into English below El tiempo pasa volando y ya mañana salgo de Suiza. He ido a la estación esta mañana y ya he reservado billete de tren para salir del país. En mi último día en Suiza visitaré la ciudad de San Gallen, donde se encuentra la catedral más famosa del país, antaño abadía, dedicada a este santo, San Gall, un monje irlandés que llegó aquí con San Columbano con la intención de evangelizar. Se quedó como eremita en el año 612 y su eremitorio fue el lugar donde más tarde se erigió la abadía benedictina y la ciudad. A parte de que se la atribuye la evangelización de Suiza, liberó a una tal Fridiburga, señora muy elegante, del demonio que la estaba poseyendo. Seguro que se quedó muy ... read more
