While we were staying in Lausanne, little did we know our friend Laurent, who we lived with in New Zealand currently lived about a half an hour away. On our last full day he picked us up and we went to his flat to have a pancake brunch before wandering around his small town and then heading into the mountains.CONTINUE READING

Adventures In :: Switzerland – Lausanne

I’ve neglected this little space for a while, but I’ve got so much I still want to write about! I figured I better share the last of my two Switzerland posts before it gets too sunny, as there’s snow and winter hats in them! We do know how to pick the coldest destinations to go to. I think it’s a winter thing, planning holidays for the winter helps you get through the dark and cold days.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Switzerland – Lac de Joux

A couple weeks ago we headed to Switzerland, a trip we had actually book last August, as we bought tickets to go see The Divine Comedy. Now I get that most people are like, “why would you have to go to another country to see a band?” and the reality was that we didn’t. We actually saw them in Sheffield, a city really close to us in the fall, but since they are one of Adam’s favourite bands, he had a look at what cities they were playing on their Europe part of their tour. Lausanne, Switzerland just happened to be a lucky day to fall on a Saturday and not have super expensive plane tickets. So that’s how we found ourselves staying along Lake Geneva in the middle of February.CONTINUE READING
Adventures In :: Switzerland – Berne #3
On our last day we decided to head in the other direction of the bear pits to parts of Berne we hadn’t explored yet. We came across a pretty house that turned out to be a museum, but since it was so nice out we decided to forgo inside activities and walk along the river some more.Adventures In :: Switzerland – Berne #2
While in Berne we came across this ‘towards Interlaken’ sign, which I had to get a picture with as I explained in my last post I’m from Interlaken NY. It’s the little things. This was on our way up a hill to see the prettiest little hilltop garden I’ve ever been in.
