I’m sitting in the shade writing this blog, hubby is to the little
airport were the Smart event/ get-together will take place starting on
Wednesday. Its 30 degrees Celsius at the moment so sitting in the shade is the
best option, for me anyways.
So far our vacation is wonderful, Koblenz was truly beautiful! After
Koblenz came the black forest were we stayed for 4 nights, the area is
magnificent, the weather…not so much! It was cold and moist, but I guess that’s
normal when you camp in the middle of the forest. We visited a bear sanctuary;
I loved to see the bears in their natural surroundings. All the bears that are
in this sanctuary were abused and mistreated, their stories are heartbreaking
humans can be monsters sometimes.
We are in Switzerland right now and here we will stay for 10 days. It’s
nice and warm, I love it. The view is just marvelous, mountains, everywhere you
look mountains. The water of the lake is so clear you can see all the way to
the bottom, so beautiful. Here at Buochs I can replenish my energy, it’s so
beautiful and peaceful here. I love the Swiss food and desserts so yummy, I
took li’ll Max so often for a walk to the lake, and this morning we took him to
Luzern he doesn’t want to walk anymore. If a show him the leash, he simply
looks the other way and then he closes his eyes again. The famous Kappel-Brücke in Luzern was partly destroyed by a fire 20
years ago and today august 18th was the official opening of the
bridge and we were there, brilliant don’t you think?
I planned on getting some work done during the vacation but, I’m simply
too tired. I think that was to be expected after powering for nearly a year my
mind is kinda empty right now. So I really will use the vacation to get as much
rest as I can get, that way I’ll be fit when I get back home and can start
working right away. Also I have a few new ideas for my next book, just have to
work it all out in my head then I can start with the writing.
We met all kind of people on the different camping grounds, we met a
family who brought their handicapped son along, so nice to see a family that is
so tight. I mean the boy was in a
wheelchair and he couldn’t speak, he only could make noises. It always makes me
sad to see people that are so severely handicapped and this boy was so young. Next
to us stays an American family with their 2 kids, they are nice and their kids
very well behaved. Last night we put 4 arrogant Swiss people in their place
LOL. I worked and lived for 2 years in Switzerland that was 24 years ago and
still, some things, never change. Most of the Swiss young adults are so very
arrogant unfortunately, but the older ones are really nice and helpful though. Switzerland
is very expensive even simple things like groceries are super expensive.
So that’s it for now! I want to catch up with my reading.
