Set in London around the turn of the century, it was a feast for the eyes. Beautiful lighting, perfect homes and gardens, carriages turning down the streets lit with intricate gas lamps, it was a grand orchestration. I thought throughout the movie "if only". If only I could transport myself into one of those scenes for a moment of experiencing such perfection. I see your pictures of Switzerland and I think the same thing. Only they're the real deal -- no movie backdrops or self-contained sets. I think I need to come over and see it for myself. Transport = airplane ticket :-) My husband and I watched an old movie last night. Set in London around the turn of the century, it was a feast for the eyes.

There is also that wonderful coffee house with great Apple strudel just beside the Train Station.. ahhh Zurich is one of my favorite Cities. My sister and her family are actually coming in July to Zurich and then to Davos for a nature relaxing holiday.. She says you havent tasted real good milk, chocolate and cheese unless you had it in Switzerland.

Fascinating. And oh those pictures. Cindy definitely said it best. You really do take us to your destinations. Your coverage of the places you travel, supported by spectacular photos (which keep getting better) are so... real. Yeah, that's the word! Your writing and pictures are so very real. Luvit!!!

I do love going to some towns and being surprised by how much you can do. Though I've usually researched a trip to an inch of its life so know everything available - including all the required transport (e.g. bus numbers!) to get around. Oh, and that's all in a spreadsheet. HA! I love your butter trick by the way. I think I have to remember that for my own picnics. Butter doesn't last long in the sub-tropical heat of Brisbane! :) Kerrin, your photos are just amazing. I do love going to some towns and being surprised by how much you can do.

You just brought me back to my house growing up, with our World Book Encyclopedia series!! Sometimes I miss paper research... Glad I can give you your fill of mountains - there's no shortage of them around here, that's for sure! Cindy, thanks so much for your note. Keep joining me on my travels then!! And I hope you find your Swiss army knife too! ;) Lilliy, you mentioned some of the very best things about Switzerland, especially how easy it is to get from town to town on the trains here. The transportation system really is impeccable. Glad to hear you've got Schwyz on your travel list now. Zürich too, I hope! Katy, tell you more about radishes and salted butter? Avec plaisir! Ah yes, a marriage made in heaven! Which is totally funny for me to say, because I have never been one to eat radishes; I used to even pick them out of salads! But when my best friend - a Breton - showed me how they eat them in France, I was hooked. You take your radish, put a thick pat of high quality (unsalted) butter on it and then dip it into big flakes of fleur de sel (or other sea salt). For a picnic, salted butter is much more convenient! Try it and let me know what you think - with an aperitif or part of an appetizer... Oh, have a great time in Grindelwald !!
