We planned our trip ending in the Netherlands so that we might get to see the fields of tulips in the spring. We are in luck. Although spring was a bit later than usual here, and the weather is chilly, the tulips are in bloom. We rented e-bikes so we could get an “up close”…

Germany to the Netherlands
Our last day in Koblenz was a Sunday and we learned that in Germany -at least in Koblenz – the city pretty much closes on Sunday. We did some exploring and finally found an open cafe for brunch. It is a beautiful city and we are glad we included it in our itinerary. It is…
Koblenz
The forecast, once again predicted rain. We packed our ponchos in our day pack, dressed warmly and headed out. Much to our delight and surprise, the sky was blue, not a cloud in sight and it was warm. In fact our jackets ended up in the day pack off and on throughout the day with…
Germany – Rhine Cruise and Koblenz.
We woke up to a beautiful sunny day and didn’t want to waste much time moving……and it is a moving day……So we packed up early, put the luggage by the door and headed out. Back to our fav little bakery for our morning caffeine hit and then the ferry to St. Goar and then the…
Castle in the Rain (not nearly as romantic as it sounds!)
The forecast said 90 percent chance of rain today but we woke up to sunshine – I’m sure it’s coming but we are going to try to fit a little touring in before it arrives. Right down the street from us is the ferry that goes back and forth across the Rhine to St Goar….
Off to the Rhine we go!
We left Sigriswil early this morning – after another great Andrea breakfast. She delivered at 7:45 this morning, knowing that we wanted to make the 9:03 bus and we had a huge hill to get our bags up and over. A few rest stops part way up the mountain but we made it. A feat…
Day 2 and Day 3 in Sigriswil Switzerland
What a start to our day. This morning at 8:30 a knock on the door and this.Homemade bread – Andrea grinds her own seeds for flour. A pitcher of fresh milk (her husband, Peter got it from the farmer this morning). It was heated as they serve coffee very strong and then fill the cup…
Sigriswil Switzerland
Today we moved from Wolhusen to Sigriswil. The bigger centres close by the villages would be Lucerne to Interlaken or Thun. We took part of the Scenic Golden Pass Trainline which makes the journey from one city to the other into a great experience. During a train ride of roughly two hours, we saw crystal…
Jumping off a mountain in the sunshine!
The sun is shining this morning and everything looks even greener and more beautiful than before. I am excited, a little nervous, but more excited. I had mentioned to Jim once, while we were watching The Amazing Race – that I would love to paraglide. He filed that away – like loving husbands do, and…
Pissed on Mount Pilatus.
It was a day and a half! We woke up our first morning in Wolhusen, Switzerland to spitting rain. We couldn’t waste a Switzerland day – this was a bit of a splurge for us to begin with, so we didn’t want to waste a minute. We donned double layers, toques, mitts, and found our…
