another day at the lakes

20131011_160728[1]
It’s slowly getting autumn, there’s snow on the mountains and my hands feel cold..
But we had good luck and during our walk around Türlersee we got a few sunrays through the clouds. Some fisherman caught one fish and one runner crossed our way. Apart from that it was just nature and us. Nice!
Later at Lake Zürich the weather got a bit better and I took a pic of the snow-covered Mountains for you. As I didn’t have my Nikon with me it’s just a mobilephone-pic.
As soon as I arrived at home I’ve set up my new hammock-stand and enjoyed the so missed feeling of chilling in a hammock, wish you a good weekend!

Amazing Weekend to remember

My last weekend was so great!
It started with tasty sushi, continued with an awesome Macklemore concert (13’000 people having fun and dancing. Even all the people with seats were standing!) and got to the top with a relaxing camping-day with the Landcruiserclub and friends from the Landroverclub.
It was so good to talk about Troopies and other fascinating 4WDs again!
And see pictures of tours around the world.. so many places to see!
Life is definitely to be enjoyed! 🙂
So do it and fulfill your dreams!
(Or keep on waiting till someone else is gonna do it for you ;))

Mullum Australia

It’s a wonderful day off and I went for a nice drive past “Türlersee”, “Zürichsee” and “Zugersee” (see means lake).
Sadly it was a bit cloudy, so I didn’t take pictures for you..
The destination was “Mullum Australia”, which is a Shop in Rapperswil that sells Australian products for people like me 😉
They sell Vegemite, Bundy-rum, VB, XXXX, clothes, souvenirs and a lot of other things 🙂
Of course I bought a jar of Vegemite. It’s so good to taste it again, I really missed it!
And I bought some Australian cookie cutters, so I can make kangaroo-, koala-, crocodile- and australia-shaped Christmas-cookies in winter 😀 That’s gonna be fun!

here’s a picture from last week, it’s a water buffalo at “Flachsee”

Leonard Cohen

Tonight I saw Leonard Cohen live in concert with his band. That was an amazing evening! They didn’t have an opening act, so they played 2.5hrs (excl. break) full of high level music with many great solos not only of the band members but also the “background” singers!! One of them was Sharon Robinson, who sang “Alexandra leaving”. Leonard sang and performed wonderful and I think a lot of young artists could learn a lot from him.
The crowd was in a good mood and in the end most of us were standing/dancing in front of the stage or between the seats.
Thank you Mami for a memorable evening! 🙂

Castle Wildegg

Now I’m two weeks back in Switzerland, got to taste Swiss food, drove on the wrong side of the road (yes it feels very wrong!) and saw good friends again. Thanks to everyone who helps me start my “life after Australia” 🙂
I visited the castle in Wildegg and made some pictures for you.

who takes the time to build wonderful wooden stakes like these nowadays?

This is a pool table from 1783, its price then was equal to a yearly income of a private teacher!

Whitsundays

What an unforgettable day at Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays!
Thanks to Air Whitsunday who gave us a free upgrade so we went on a scenic flight in the seaplane, went snorkelling, visited Whitehaven Beach and got some sparkling wine and snacks! And on top of that I sat next to the pilot during the flight!
