Switzerland

 Visiting Maria  Meyer again, 5yrs later to the day nearly I think:-)

She was busy knitting socks for her son-in-law

We went out with Maria for the night to Wahlendorf, and said Hi to Graham, Anne and Anita the Kiwi Contingent:-)

We went and had a few days with Scott, Deb's and Coco. We went out for the day with them to a cute little walled village. We went to a Swiss Chocolate Factory there too and were hoping to do a tour but unfortunately there was a 2 1/2 hr wait so instead we just had their delicious chocolate tasting, hot chocolate and Movenpick Ice cream :-)


This was the view from the village


They were living in one of the apartments in Ralph and Maureen's place, this is the view out of our bedroom window

Dean arrived and joined us there. We went in for the day to Geneva City

We met Ralph for lunch. The Building in the background is the Bank that he works for.
Lew and Dean went off for a look at one of the Swiss Watch Shops that one of the friends works at. Dean tried on this watch that was worth $500 000 Swiss Francs!!!!!!!!!
Deb's cooked us a delicious Salmon Dinner, Dario came to say Hi

We went out on Scott and Deb's Boat for a ride and a visit to a French Village on the other side of the Lake.




Giving Coco a hug:-)





I can't resist taking photos of beautiful flowers



On our way through to Italy with Dean we stopped in to see a Castle built on the water in Lucerne



An interesting long drop into the water far below!

Some of the Vineyards along the way
