another great trip to zurich
that was just about three weeks ago that i decided to take a trip to switzerland. the reason really was that both my best and longest friend kathy with her husband andré and daughter tonique, as well as my sister were in zurich simoultaneously. they normally live in argentina and neuchatel (ch) respectively.
at the same time joy and thomas reyes came with their two little daughters lucy and amelie azul. this is a pic of lucy keeping her father busy with all sorts of things.
and to top it off my two cousins bice and carla also joined in, whom i had not seen together for probably a decade or so (no not true, as i hav only been married for five years now . . . ).
it was a lovely evening, much spanish was spoken, as well as baby talk and talk over babies ;-)) and these are the two youngest, amelie azul left and tonique right. yes, tonique is a little mouse, but she is three months younger than amelie and is further back in the picture as well. they were just soo sweet and uncomplicated, so were their parents !!!
i don't have pictures of my parents and sister. thanks a lot to my parents for having me that weekend, i very much enjoyed a break from cambridge and two great days full of sunshine in zurich.
the next day after all that cheese i went on a bike tour up to the 'loorenkopf-turm', the lookout-tower above zurich i have been climbing on since i could walk probably. the weather was fabulous and so many memories came up inside me. i spent many hours in that area as a teenager and the view from the top is fantastic, the lake lies like a band of silver, and the sky is just a second away.
not very well visible on the pics, but the mountains throned behind the gentle hills of the swiss mittelland. this picture shows them a little better and proves that our planet in fact is round.
early monday morning meant boarding a plane to london amongst tired busy business wo-men. i hardly had time to read the inflight magazine because visibility was great. i saw the north-western tip of france where we had spent some time in june, many ships crossing the channel, the tiny cliffs of dover, the rolling hills of kent, suburbs of london with a salad of bubbling highways, and flew straight across the heart of london. the london eye, tower bridge, battersea park, 'gherkin-building', 'bock-im-hemd-palast' and thames were right under my feet, it was breath-taking.
city airport lies in the east of the city along docks and industries. it is in fact just an hour's drive from cambridge and elie came to pick me up. fortunately, this time, i was looking forward to going 'home'.
