Actual Zürich

Before we ran on, we had to have another look at the view, which worked out well for us as the clouds had moved on / fixed the rendering bug, so that we could

Snow

Todays drive went upwards. Plenty of spectacular views and even briefly snow, though luckily not enough to make an impact on the road. We also went through a scarily well armed police patrol

Running in the Alps

So they won. We drove to the point where we left of yesterday and simply continued walking up river. But, I guess we didn't really know how else we could possibly top walking

Okay, so the hunt didn't take us all the way to the white tips of the mountains, but we did get closer to them. Walking along a river that seemed to every 10

Overshot Switzerland

My phone provider seems to like me. Or at least, they enjoy sending me messages on a constantly. "Welcome to Germany!" "Welcome to Switzerland!" "Welcome to Italy!"

Slide Mountain

Todays weather seems to have been like all our previous days. Terrible forecast, rain in the morning, weather magically gets a bit better while we're trying to have a little walk, and then

Dampfnudeln (Steamed noodles)

The last couple of days have not been particularly blog worthy. More catching up with people, doing some fun activities, less photographic opportunities. There was some minigolf with interesting neon coloured walls that

Höllental (Hell's Valley)

After the weather forecast keeps on promising that tomorrow it will rain, it still hasn't really happened. I mean, it's a nice trend, but somehow I get the feeling that we will certainly

I can't really tell whether getting up at before 8 in the morning counts as success or as failure in terms of getting used to the local timezone. Either way, I feel like

Madrid really is a night time city. Besides finding somewhere nice to relax, a lot of activities around here seem to be more bouncy during the night than they are during the day.

Part of the reason to head into France was to be able to see the other side of the Pyrénées mountains. I expected the sights to be somewhat similar to the Spanish side,
