One-day trip to Titlis
In mid-April two friends and I took the train to mount Titlis. It’s so comfortable to climb a mountain with cable cars, without the least effort! Read the rest of this entry »
Sechseläuten
Sechseläuten, in mid-April, is a traditional celebration in Zürich. In Winter, it was costumary that work would stop at sunset. As days grew longer in Spring and Summer, this would of course be too late, so work would stop when church clocks would strike six. Sechseläuten (the call of six) was the day in which people would switch from “Winter work days” to “Summer work days” (the holiday is now celebrated one month later than the original day).

Basel
Un cap de setmana fantàsticament asolellat al mig de l’hivern. Basilea estava preciosa! Un munt de gent passejant-se a la vora del Rin, les terrasses dels cafès i restaurants plenes a vessar. Amb la Sílvia i en Jaume, fins i tot vam posar-nos morenos.

“Castellers” - human towers
Today at Bürkliplatz we had a show of “castellers”

Jungfraujoch
Some pictures taken during a train trip to the Jungfraujoch with my mother last week. After going through a tunnel excavated into the Eiger, we reach the highest train station in Europe, at over 3300m. From the station we can access what initially was a research facility at the top of the Jungfrau, which was used as the villain’s HQ in one James Bond film.

The very famous whole-city open-air day-time techno party attracts hundreds of thousands of young and not-so-young people from Europe and all over the world. And I was in Zürich, so I had to take a look. Read the rest of this entry »
