Montreux Noël Medieval Market!

Author: Aasemoon

20 Dec

Last year I found out about this a tad too late, this year I managed to finally pay a visit to the Medieval Market in Montreux, at the Chillon castle. The market itself wasn’t much, it was just stalls here and there spread inside the castle. But the staff were dressed like elves, and the castle was beautiful.

Afterwards we walked from Chillon to Montreux, around lake Geneva…. this was simply lovely. After arriving to Montreux, we also paid a visit to the huge Christmas market in the centre of the city. Huge, and covered with chocolate and gingerbread for the most part.

Pictures here.

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.

And, I’ve uploaded the pictures from our trip to Üetliberg couple of weeks ago. It was a heavily foggy day and not much could be seen, but at least the group photo turned out well. =)

Album 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.

[This one’s a panorama, click to see the full resolution.]
