Aare you safe? Bern stopover!
After arriving in Bern, I headed straight to my hostel, changed into my swimsuit, and headed towards the river Aare. I love floating in the river Aare so much. This time, I skipped the bridge jump and just entered upstream from Freibad Marzili at the Campingplatz Eichholz, which is about 1 km. In between floats, […]

Männlichen, Kleine Scheidegg, and Wengen Hike
Good morning! I faced a dilemma- what to do? This was the only day I’d have to spend in Bern, but I really wanted to hike. Since all I wanted to do in Bern was hop in the river, I decided to hike and forsake the other nice things Bern had to offer (the old […]

Berghotel Obersteinberg & Schmadribachfällen Hike
So, the prior night, I searched different hikes to find out which one I wanted to do. The Jungfrau.ch company has a great marketing website for its private railways that link to a lot beautiful sites. I’ve never cared about getting to the top of Jungfrau, but I was almost swayed by the marketing for […]

In Transit: DE -> CH with stopover in Bern, Switzerland
On Monday morning, Dad and I met up for breakfast in the hotel. The buffet was quite good. I love bread, cheese, jam, yogurt, and muesli for breakfast. There was also excellent coffee, which is key for combatting jet lag. After breakfast, we walked to Tartes Cézanne, a French bakery that Dad swore had the […]

Day 3: Vanduz, LI and Vrin & Trun, CH
SMS had wanted to visit Lichtenstein so I booked an overnight there on our drive from Germany to Italy. We had a delicious breakfast buffet, which we added to our bill. I am sort of in love with a breakfast of muesli, cheese and whole-grain bread. I wanted to do more than just pass through […]

Have You Mooo-ved On?
“I was so upset! I thought you were gone forever!” I am still here! It’s been awhile, yes! Now that I am back, we have so much to talk about. Since I last wrote, I finished fellowship, traveled to Switzerland, hung out in the Bay Area, drove cross-country and, now, I’m hanging out at my […]

Switzerland, Day 16: Zurich – Home
We woke up and squeezed (sqouze?) in a quick breakfast at Milchbar before heading to the airport. The flight home was fine and when we got home, our buddies were waiting for us no worse for wear. It was a great vacation and amazing to explore such a small but incredibly diverse country in regards […]

Switzerland, Day 15: Zurich
SMS was starting to improve. I felt so badly that he was sick on the vacation. There were a few silver linings like at least it didn’t happen in the mountains and that he felt better by the time we flew out but, overall, it was a bummer. I am fairly certain he has sworn […]

Switzerland, Day 14: Lugano – Zurich
SMS still felt badly so I went to breakfast by myself, followed by a walk around the lake. I bought myself a Busker’s Fair tee-shirt, which was bright yellow with a seagull on it. When I showed it to SMS later, he questioned this purchase (and by implication, my sanity) knowing that I really don’t […]
