One week is just not enough to see Switzerland.
Although my time there was spent well, I just barely scratched the surface in experiencing what the the country has to offer. Continue Reading…
I just got back from a trip to Switzerland. I was only there for a week but I saw and did a lot of things there.
It wasn’t a frenetic pace. I planned it out pretty well, even if I do say so myself. But because I did so much, it’s hard to share my thoughts, stories and pictures about the oh-so-short time I spent there, in just one blog post.
So, I’m doing several posts about my trip to Switzerland last week. This is the third post. The first two were “Kayak Yodeloke” and “Yodeloke in Grindelwald, Switzerland”. There will be more.
When I was a little boy I saw a picture of the Switzerland Alps and countryside, the kind of setting where you see snow-capped mountains hovering over a lush green valley below with Swiss Chalets scattered all over the Alpine meadow.
That scene stuck with me all my life and I knew I wanted to go see it for myself sometime. So finally, last week, I lived out the dream.
Almost lost my “spensive” hat on this adventure!
KAYAKOKE
In a previous post, titled, “KAYAKOKE (pronounced Kayakoke)“, I rowed a kayak in Lake Union, in Seattle, while singing a Stevie Ray Vaughn song called, “Texas Flood”, and I deemed it to be ” Kayak karaoke”, and then contracted the two words to Kayakoke (pronounced “Kayak cokey”).
TRIP TO SWITZERLAND
So one day as I was thinking about my upcoming trip to Switzerland, which will be my last trip for this year (2015), I recalled a time when I was in South Korea and I occasionally went to a restaurant, in Itaewon, which was located close to Embassy housing at that time.
In my previous post, “West Coast to East Coast to West Coast to East Coast to West Coast in 15 Days”, I talked about traveling back and forth, across the U.S., four times in 15 days.
That’s not something I normally do. So I was even surprised when I realized I had done just that.
In fact, I’ve traveled more during the past year (from November 2014 to October 2015), than I have in the past ten years.
