It’s been 6 years since we’ve seen Uncle Dan, Aunt Elaine, and Liam’s cousins Scarlett and Isobel. Way too long. Adam had made some rumblings that they would be spending a week in San Remo… only an hour from us, so I had high hopes that we...
But I’ve been saving the best to last. The whole time we were in Grindelwald I watched the paragliders, and thought — hmmmmmm — I have wanted to try that for ages, why not here, now that Liam is finally old enough to be left on his own for a few...
I’m glad Liam enjoyed his ‘day off’ the day before, so that we could still have a bit of adventure. Although I wanted to explore the glacier area, ultimately I decided that Liam would get the best enjoyment of retracing some of my steps from the...
If you are reading this post to find out what Liam is up to… read no further. Liam enjoyed a very relaxed day in the chalet all by himself (with Lola) while I was up before the sun to head up the mountain to see the Alpenglow from altitude. A friend who had been...
7 days just isn’t enough for a holiday — especially when you lose the first and last days to travel. But work is too busy for me to take two full weeks… so I compromised to a week and a half. So instead of heading home, we were heading to Zermatt,...

I had big plans for Day 6. Forecast was calling for sun in the morning, rain in the afternoon… so let’s take a gamble and head up the Eiger Express for a hike! The Eiger mountain is one of the most recognisable peaks in Switzerland. It’s just shy of...
Another spotty weather today today… so we’ve decided to drive a half hour into a different valley and explore the Lauterbrunnen area. When I was looking at where to stay, I was torn between Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. Pickings were quite slim as I...
So keeping an eye on the weather… rain and cloud are imminent in the forecast. So our third day in Grindelwald (the Monday) was going to be ‘adventure day’…. up the mountain behind the town is an adventure playground called ‘Grindelwald...
Well…. travel by air at the moment is rather disastrous — I spend most of my days trying to reschedule or find lost luggage for my boss and his family… so I figured it would be best for Liam and I to do a driving holiday again this summer....
