Too Hot!!
December 27, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 37 °F
I bought a new shirt in Interlaken. So, being a good traveler I left a shirt and scarf in my Air BnB. The shirt is great but it is very, very , warm. Yikes. Maybe a bad decision?? Scotland is the farthest north destination. So I will know soon enough.Read more

Schloss Schadau Thun
July 22, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Schloss Schadau - Zurück ins Jetzt

Schloss Schadau wurde von 1846 bis 1854 nach Plänen von Pierre-Charles Dusillon in einem historistischen Mischstil von Tudor-Gotik und an die Loire-Schlösser angelehnter Neurenaissance für den Bankier Abraham Denis Alfred de Rougemont erbaut. Es ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude von nationaler Bedeutung und heute im Besitze der Stadt Thun.

Das Schloss wurde während zwei Jahren saniert und eröffnete am 1. Juni 2019 als Boutique Hotel mit 9 Zimmern, Restaurant, Bar, Veranda und Gartenterrasse. Das Ziel: dieses Haus mit seiner schweizweit einmaligen Architektur nicht museal, sondern als bewohnbares Gasthaus erlebbar zu machen.

Die Lage im Schadau-Park, einem englischen Garten direkt am Thunersee, mit Sicht auf Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet den perfekten Rahmen für das Schloss Schadau-Erlebnis.Read more

Mittagessen in Thun
July 22, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Nachdem wir eine ganze Weile durch Thun geradelt sind, macht sich der Hunger breit und so kehren wir im Hotel Restaurant Krone ein, wählen zwei Mittags Menüs für 22 und 25 CHF und sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Essen, dem Service und der Location. Nach dem Essen springen wir direkt in die kühlen Fluten der Aare. Toll!Read more

Thun, Schloss (Thun Castle)
December 24, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
This stop was an after thought and a place I stumbled upon. It isn’t normally open in the winter, but for the twelve days of Christmas it opens it doors. I lucked out and today was day 1. It was a great find. The castle was really well explained and the audio tour was interesting. Best part was at the top of the castle and they explained the wood construction of the roof system. No flash photography but the view from the top was super.Read more

Murren to Lake Thun
June 6, 2018 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Sadly we left Murren this morning to head to Lake Thun. I think I left a little bit of my heart in Murren. I may have to go back to try to find it.
Our hotel is right on the lake. More fantastic views. We dumped our bags and hopped on a cruise up the lake, checking out the mansions on the riverbank. Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. Stopped in at Spiez for a walkaround and look at their castle, one of five on Lake Thun. Jumped back on the boat and there was a Swiss band playing and all these people dressed in national costume dancing. It was fantastic. We didn’t know where to look – out the window at the lake views or the people on the dance floor.
Was saying hello to a cat when a copper from Perth came up to say hello - must have heard the accent. Can't take Graham anywhere.
I have patted, talked to or commented on every cat and dog we have seen so far, and we have seen a lot. Graham just ignores me now.
Switzerland travel tip: You really do need a travel pass when you are in Switzerland. It will save you a bundle and often time, not having to buy a ticket.Read more

Bike Fun in Thun
June 7, 2018 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
As part of our stay in Thun we get a free bus pass or the hotel provides free bikes. As it looked like it was going to rain we chose the bikes for a leisurely ride around the lake. And if it rained we could stop in a village for a while. No thank you, we don't need a helmet as we are off for a leisurely ride.
So we headed off, tootling around the lake. It was lovely for the first 500 metres. Then bikes are no longer allowed on the path around the lake and we follow the arrow to find we are now on the main road that circumnavigates Lake Thun, surrounded by cars and trucks and buses, and of course without a helmet. But wait, it gets better. After an hour it starts to rain, and of course there are no villages in sight. Oh, and here's a mountain for you to ride up. And what happens when there is a road on a mountain? It is very windy, with no overtaking, there are tunnels and two idiots on bikes, without helmets. I did not sign up for this.
After a couple of hours we arrived at our destination, St Beatus Caves. There is a lovely little train that takes you up to the cave, but not today there isn't so you have to climb up. I am not happy. At all.
We did the cave tour (more climbing) and then Graham bought me some pizza because if I was eating I wouldn't be complaining. And then we rode back to Thun and thanked the lady at the hotel desk very much for the use of the bikes.Read more
