Holidays in Switzerland

On Friday, September 30th 2011, we boarded a train towards Switzerland. At 7 p.m., we arrived sage and sound, but also very tired at my mother's place. We were both hungry like wolves, and had dinner. Our tummies were stuffed after that, so that we had both trouble sleeping all night long. At around 3:30a.m., we finally fell asleep for a while, and woke up again at 7:30 a.m.

After we had gotten dressed and finished our morning toilet, we went down to have breakfast, and there were grandma and grandpa waiting for us already. :-) Angelina was looking forward a lot to the both of them, and so, breakfast took a little linger as usual. :-) Exchanging lots of stories and making funny faces really made breakfast amusing that day … ;-)

On Saturday, we hap planned to make a trip to the Säntis, but there was so much hustle and bustle that we turned back and instead looked around at the beautiful town of Appenzell. They were having a celebration going on, with several choirs performing. That's why the inhabitants of Appenzell call it "Chorfest" (choir fest)! :-)

We had a bratwurst there and strolled through the peaceful town. It's really sweet, rustic town which has a small pedestrian precinct, too. Really nice! :-)

Finally, we went back home tom my mother's and had a little bit of rest, because there was a roast venison dinner planned for the evening.

Sunday was more of a quiet day. We went for a walk, bought some cake and had coffee. Plenty of rest, and a good deal of walking!

On Monday, we made a bigger day trip. We went to the Rhine Valley and crossed from Switzerland via Liechtenstein over to Austria! Really a dream. In Feldkirch (Austria), we made a stop and took a walk through the pedestrian mall and did some window shopping.

Later, taking the route via Altstätten, we went back home to my mother's, where we had a nice Swiss style dinner! :-)

On the following day, our journey home to Germany was due. We arrived at 6:30 p.m., and treated ourselves with some dinner at a famous fast food chain restaurant! :-)
