Yummy, we have organic apples bought directly from the farm, meaning from the farmer. That's actually not so easy, at least not where I live in Switzerland. Most farmers don't have apples in organic quality right now.
Choir Mittenberg
Today we went for a walk to the Mittenberg. This great viewpoint is always worth a visit. For those who like it quiet and don't want to tie up their hiking boots,

Spinach Salad with Mango and Feta
Mmmmhhhh…yummy…today we had a delicious spinach salad with mango and feta, which actually came about from a lot of leftovers. So we still had quite a bit of spinach left over and I just love spinach! Especially in the form of a salad. In winter, that's often a challenge, as winter spinach is usually tough to chew 🙂
Fürstensteig hike
The weather wasn't exactly excellent today, so we went to Liechtenstein, specifically to Gaflei, above Vaduz, to walk the Fürstensteig trail. It's not, as one might assume... READ MORE
Hike to the Golden Sun – Calanda
Why go on vacation when all the beauty is right here. A few weeks ago, I read about several abandoned mine shafts in Calanda. Gold was discovered and mined there around 1850. The so-called Golden Sun is said to be located at an altitude of about 1300 meters, roughly at the height of the village of Felsberg. That was reason enough to drive 10 km up the Rhine and set off on an exciting hike.
Hike to Mittenberg
Today we went on another hike to the Mittenberg in Chur. Together with a buddy, the three of us walked to a great viewpoint and

And off we go to the beautiful German federal capital to visit my brother 🙂 One more quick stop in Zurich, where we'll meet up at Yooji to quickly get some energy for the long flight from Basel to Berlin.
After a pleasant flight, we landed punctually in Schönefeld and were warmly welcomed by Etja and Nadja.
Winter holiday in Lapland 2014
Just back from the USA, I'm spontaneously going to Sweden, more precisely to the high
USA Day 1: Chur, Zurich, Amsterdam, Seattle (2014-09-26)
On my new blog, I naturally don't want to withhold our USA trip from you. The texts are from an older blog, so I mostly just copied and pasted things =) Have fun reading and
USA Day 2: Seattle, Oak Harbor, Deception Pass (2014-09-27)
USA Day 2: Seattle 3:30 AM, MORNING! Time for a relaxed coffee in the hotel lobby. Both feeling great and well-rested. Thanks, jet lag.
USA Day 3: Seattle, Boeing, Astoria (2014-09-28)
USA Day 3: Today we slept in. At 7 am, there was just as lavish a breakfast as the day before. Helene skipped the shabby coffee, while Dennis has already gotten used to it.
1. Agenda item: Tour of the Boeing factory in Seattle.
USA Day 4: Astoria, Lincoln City, Newport, Oregon (2014-09-29)
USA Day 4: What a wonder. There was a rich, American breakfast with lousy coffee. How do Americans do it? Our route today led us further south along the coast on Highway 101. On our way to Newport, Oregon Coast, we stopped in Lincoln City for our second outlet shopping spree.
USA Day 5: Newport, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Grants Pass (2014-09-30)
USA Day 5: Conclusion in the morning: A good hotel doesn't automatically mean a better breakfast. Also, it's already the fourth day that the intruder into the White House is being reported on TV. Boring!
