Get out and explore the world
Admittedly, I had my problems with Switzerland at the beginning. As nice and correct as the Swiss are … You won’t find connections so quickly here. When Sven moved a few kilometers further to the Pfäffikersee after 2 years, a lot changed …
Every gourmet should be familiar with the award-winning Ikarus restaurant at Hangar 7 in Salzburg. We had been thinking about paying a visit to this gourmet temple for a long time. When Sven was given vouchers when he turned 40, we immediately reserved a table 😋
It is absolutely no secret that we like to drink wine and love hiking 😍 A combination of both is therefore the perfect day for us 😉 I have already reported on our favorite wine region in Austria in my blog about the South Styrian Wine Route. Now we wanted to explore a wine region in Switzerland for a change.
I am always fascinated by the fact that you only drive a few kilometers further within Switzerland and suddenly nobody speaks German anymore. Lausanne is located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, on the beautiful Lake Geneva.
Exactly 13 years ago we experienced this excursion for the first time. At that time we were freshly in love, it was our very first vacation together and we saw the world through rose-colored glasses. I had so incredibly positive memories of this excursion and had made up my mind to repeat this island expedition.
As you probably already know … Sven and I are more active vacationers. Therefore, even with an all-inclusive vacation, there are plenty of excursions on the program. Ziplining & Monkeyland, as well as Saona Island, we could already tick off. Now all that was missing was a snorkeling trip.
Just lying around and doing nothing is just not in our nature, so we were looking for a bit of variety during our all-inclusive stay in Punta Cana.
Neither of us had tried ziplining before and monkeys are always nice, right? 😍
After a year of restrictions, we were pretty much fed up, as is probably the case with so many in the Covid-19 pandemic. For weeks the thermometer has only shown minus degrees. Frustrated that we weren’t even allowed to spend Christmas with our families because of the entry restrictions, plus we were completely overworked, our mood sank to zero at the beginning of February 😔 Our decision was made: We need a break !!!
Since we were stuck in Switzerland due to the Corona restrictions and were therefore not allowed to celebrate Christmas with our families, we decided spontaneously that we needed a change of scenery on New Year’s Eve. Fortunately, the hotel industry in Switzerland was open, a hotel in the Swiss mountains was quickly found. Nothing stood in the way of a short vacation including delicious food and snow hiking with Kayla 😊
Every few years we pay a visit to the Styrian capital. The city is also very easy to explore with a dog due to the many green spaces. Our highlight is definitely the Schlossberg with the clock tower – the city’s landmark. The Styrian cuisine comes right after that 😋
