      Schloss Thun

      June 29, 2016 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      接著走到了圖恩城堡古蹟區。圖恩城堡是建於中世紀，12 世紀末。而這個城堡位於一個小山丘上，我們慢慢走上來，還可以看到微微俯瞰圖恩小鎮呢！

      不遠處那座就是圖恩城堡了，可是我們往前走居然是餐廳。於是在附近拍拍照就折返了。但是圖恩小鎮的景還是很棒的。還有古老有特色的建築群。

      tun wa' mal nach Thun reisen 🚖 ✈️ 🚉

      August 31, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ 24 °C

      Nach Hamburg bin ich bereits gestern Abend gefahren 🚙💨 um heute gemütlich in den Tag zu starten. Nach einer unruhigen Nacht bei Kunschi auf der Couch (ich bin immer so aufgeregt, bevor ich fliege...), bin ich morgens erstmal zum Bäcker, denn in Kunschi 's Haushalt befindet sich kein Krümel Kaffee 🙄😅 ...

      Eigentlich wollte ich mich mit den Öffis zum Flughafen durchschlagen, habe mich dann aber spontan für das peisintensive, äußerst komfortable Taxi 🚕 entschieden - weil ich so unwahrscheinlich gut verdiene & zudem auch noch verwöhnt und faul bin 😅🤣 .... weiter geht's dann mit dem Flugzeug 🛩 nach Basel und von Basel aus mit der Schweizer Bahn 🚞 nach Thun.

      Fazit:
      Der Flug dauerte nur 1h 15 Min... aber das Gehassel mit den Öffis und das einchecken am Airport, sind Zeitfresser und so zieht sich die Anreise dann doch mehr als ich es erwartet hatte. Jedoch deutlich schneller als mit dem PKW oder der Deutschen Bahn! Der Flugpreis war 'n Schnäpper, das Taxi hab ich mir für 25€ gegönnt (im Urlaub geht das schonmal), aber dafür haut die Schweizer Bahn mit mal eben um die 50CHF (für nur 1,5 Stunden Zugfahrt!!!!) ordentlich rein! Wucher! 🤯😵‍💫      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

      The Hills are Alive....

      June 5, 2018 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

      ....with the sound of Graham snoring. Haven't killed him yet.
      Went up to Grindelwald First today. Best cablecar ride yet. It was a bit like the ghost train. They put you in a little cabin and then you go around sharp corners, slow down, whizz off. Great views to top it off (but when aren’t there amazing views here). The hike to the lake was still closed due to snow so we did the ziplines and the glider. With the glider you start at the bottom laying face down and they pull you up the mountain backwards, and then when they get to the top it inches to a stop and you are left hanging for what feels like an eternity before they let you go. There may have been a bit of screaming. I can’t lie – Graham bloody filmed it!
      We were going to do the trotti bikes down the mountain until I read the reviews of people breaking bones and being airlifted out. I am not that desperate for a helicopter ride. The only people we saw on the bikes were a couple of 16 year old boys who said it was hell fast so I was overjoyed we didn’t do it. Graham would have loved it.
      Had a Sound of Music moment for Debbie, as requested. The Chinese were watching me twirl around on the edge of the mountain in awe. They are always up for a new pose to add to their repertoire so I imagine after we left there would have been 100 Chinese twirling around on the mountainside.      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

      Post Hike Treat

      September 8, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      After the hike I treated myself to some YUMMY ice cream. Soooo good. Had been thinking of how good it would taste since half was through the day previous 😂

      mit dem MTB nach Goldiwil 🚵‍♀️

      September 2, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ 14 °C

      Grau und verregnet startet mein 2. Tag in der Schweiz. Heute bike ich das 1. Mal in meinem Leben im Bergland 😃 ... dafür leihe ich mir ein ziemlich geiles E-Mountainbike. Bislang habe ich E-Bike-Fahrer immer äußerst skeptisch beäugt 🧐🤨 ... am heutigen Tag bin ich froh, selbst ein E-Bike fahren zu dürfen 😄😉Read more

      Schloss Schadau & Schadau Park

      June 29, 2016 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

      在我們到達圖恩後，馬上到住處，約 7 分鐘路程而已很近。安頓好後跟房東拿了張 Tour guide。
      而 Tour guide 雖然有劃出整個圖恩鎮的地圖，但推薦景點卻只看到圖恩城堡。我在網路上卻有找到另一個很棒的景點，##沙道公園。逛完古城區後前往沙道公園。

      走到公園最裡面的景色是這樣，我都嚇呆了！
      沙道公園的位置其實有點小偏僻，因為不在大馬路上。而是要先經過一個安靜小村莊後才會到，感覺有點隱密，但又不至於不好找。這個湖就是圖恩湖 了，遠處還可以看到少女峰呢！而圖恩湖景的背面就是沙道城堡！

      整個下午都躺在這草皮上，順便帶個麵包和牛奶野餐就等於來過圖恩，就值得了。這裡真的是意外美麗，而且人好少，看起來真的是半私房景點啊！XD
      然後帶個幾張美照走~ 結束這一天。
      早點睡，等待隔天早起登歐洲屋脊 - 少女峰      Read more

      Bern

      June 4, 2018 in Switzerland ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

      Woke this morning in the clouds, literally, so headed off to the city of Bern for the day. Spent some time wandering Old Town, visited the bear park in the middle of the city and visited the house Albert Einstein lived in. We were going to visit some of the museums, to find they are all closed on a Monday. On a positive note, the Swiss Rifle Museum was closed.
      Bern was pretty but I couldn’t wait to get back up the mountain to Murren.      Read more
