Switzerland, back again
Ich konnte das August Desaster nicht auf mir sitzen lassen und musste dringend noch meine Entzugserscheinungen von den Bergen bekämpfen. Was tun? Spontan Ende September ne Woche Urlaub nehmen! Drei stornierbare Flüge zu verschiedenen Destinationen buchen (Bozen, Zürich, Madrid) und dann anderthalb Tage vorher gucken, wo das Wetter stabil ist. Dann Zug und Hotel buchen.…
Disaster strikes again
Another wasted vacation. Too bad. At least the Swiss economy is happy. 🙂 The plan was to hike the Tour du Cervin, from St. Niklaus to Zermatt over a couple of days. Unfortunately, we had to abandon the trip after the first day. Two out three participants had technical issues leading to knee problems ……
Et tu, la Suisse?
I hate backstabbing. Especially when it comes out of the blue. I’ve often praised Switzerland that while it’s super expensive, you always get great quality or service and it’s worth it. Turns out that’s no longer true. It all started as expected – our flight to ZRH was 25mins delayed out of Berlin. Business as…
Ladybug, saved
Saw a ladybug about to drown in one of our flower boxes. Quick security council session, intervention discussed, action taken, life saved. It’s so easy! 😊 Fly little Marienkäfer! 🐞
Destroy what destroys you
Ich vermisse tatsächlich vor allem die Anarchie und Zerstörungskraft unseres kleinen felligen Froindes. Wenn jeder Haushalt in D einen Wooster hätte, wäre die Welt besser. Und Baumarkt-Aktien die beste Geldanlage der Welt.
Danke für 15 tolle Jahre!
15 Jahre und 2 Monate hat Wooster unser Leben bereichert! Chaos, Anarchie, Niedlichkeit, Neugier, Flauschigkeit, Wuselei, Schnuffeligkeit und Kuscheligkeit galore! Am Freitag ist er leider in die ewigen Beagle-Jagdgründe gegangen und wird den großen kosmischen Knochen jagen. RIP und danke für alles!
11 Almograve – Vila Nova de Milfontes
Home stretch! This was actually supposed to be shorter, but the ferry did not run (does not exist anymore) so we walked across the bridge at Milfontes after all. In a way, I was glad we did. Yes, it’s a few minutes with lots of cars passing you by (but safely separated, no worries), but…
10 Zambujeira do Mar – Almograve
Well, well, well. We enjoyed our last rest day in Zambujeira not doing much at all. Explored the beaches and parts of the coast to the North, ice cream, pastelaria, and a wonderful sunset. The day after saw us walking the last long stretch of our tour, along the coast to Almograve. This is really…
09 Odeceixe – Zambujeira do Mar
Leaving Odeceixe requires walking along a few km of road again, but fortunately there’s no traffic here – at least not in November as the road ends in a dead end at the northern side of the beach. I can imagine this being different during main season. It’s still a nice walk with the river…
08 Aljezur/Rogil – Odeceixe
Aljezur. The second-to-last stretch walking from Arrifana is along the road, so not too exciting, fortunately the last 20km are off road again. I was looking forward to reaching Aljezur for a couple of days because there’s a gelateria here that was open, according to their website. They were also open according to the sign…
