    Castle Of Gruyères

    Author: Aasemoon

    24 Jan

    Forgot to mention, pictures from our visit to the Castle Of Gruyères [a few weeks back] are online. The castle was quite amazing, one of the most majestic I’ve seen to far. But that was about all that we saw that day, due to the horrible weather!

    Pictures here.

    • Lenzerheide Magic Forest

    Author: Aasemoon

    13 Jan

    One of most memorable events/places we visited this Christmas, was the Lenzerheide Magic Forest. We spent a few hours looking around the tiny town of Lenzerheide which was covered with snow, and then spent about an hour in the church as the snow was absolutely insane. Then we headed to the forest for the light shows and the market. The light shows were absolutely marvellous, and the market was quite authentic and beautiful. I’m actually looking forward to going there again next year!

    • Basel – France – Germany – Christmas Markets!!

    Author: Aasemoon

    12 Dec

    Last week we went to Basel to visit the two huge Christmas Markets. As usual though, we went early in the day to do some exploring first. We walked over the border to Saint-Louis [France], then to Huningue [France], then we crossed that amazing bridge in between the 3 countries and walked into Weil am Rhein [Germany]. Then we finally walked back to Basel and visited the markets!

    As for the markets, they were amazing! These were probably the biggest, prettiest and highest quality [in terms of actual shopping items] Christmas markets I’ve ever seen anywhere! I even managed to find myself “Francesco Rubinato” glass pen… which was a real surprise! [More about that later…]

    So… pictures are here.

    • Ensiedeln & The Christmas Market

    Author: Aasemoon

    12 Dec

    Einsiedeln is a truly lovely little town about an hour away from Zurich, and around Christmas each year they have a rather sizely Market which attracts tourists from just about everywhere. I had never been to the town itself, so the usual suspects and I decided that we could spend a day in the town itself, and then visit the market in the evening’s dark.

    The town as I said is just beautiful, and of course tiny. And so we ended up walking to the nearby town of Birchli, and then to the lake Sihlsee. I really enjoyed the heavily snow-covered scenery and the lake was just dreamy! Of course we also went inside the well known Ensiedeln monastery which was quite amazing.

    The market was also very pretty, and very big. Not really the best place for gift-shopping, but more for eating. 😉 But I think maybe the local band should choose a different selection of songs to perform for the next year. A little less funeral-ish, maybe!

    The album is here.

    • First Time In Konstanz [Germany]

    Author: Aasemoon

    4 Dec

    A couple of weekends ago Cristina drove us to Konstanz for a 1 day trip, to see the city and meet a friend of hers. It was my first time in Konstanz and I wanted to take a lot of pictures, but unfortunately the terrible weather and all the rain and fog, made for a collection of horribly gray pictures. =P

    Nonetheless, the trip itself was a lot of fun and we had a great time. =)

    Pictures here.

    • A Day In Geneva

    Author: Aasemoon

    26 Nov

    Another short trip we recently took, was a one day trip to Geneva. One day is definitely not enough to explore Geneva, and as usual we have to go back. But we did manage to see a good deal. Pictures are finally uploaded and can be found here.

    • Monte Generoso [Switzerland / Italy]

    Author: Aasemoon

    19 Sep

    Last weekend we went for a hike around Monte Generoso, partially in Switzerland and partially in Italy. On the Italian side we had the chance to have a tour around a bear cave where an excavation crew have been digging out some interesting Neanderthal relics, as well as bones of the extinct bears of the area. The cave is also somewhat of a geological wonder.

    After the hike a couple of us still standing also took the chance to have a walk around Lugano, which for me was a first. All in all this was a lovely trip.

    Photos.

    • Walking Around Zürich…

    Author: Aasemoon

    28 Jul

    Sometimes I feel that no matter how long I stay here and how much like home Switzerland feels, in a specific way I will always feel like a tourist here. I simply never get enough of the beauty of this place! It doesn’t matter if I’m seeing something here for the first time, or if it’s a place I pass by every single day… the view here never fails to amaze me! =)

    Last week I had a chance to have a nice walk around Zurich guided by my friend Gian-Andrea. Some things I had seen before, some I hadn’t… altogether it was a very enjoyable evening. Below’s a couple of pictures of that evening… and rest of the pictures are here.
