Holidays 2008 - Part 2

I guess it's about time I completed my ''Holidays 2008'' entry.

After our time in Spain, Gigi, my wife, and I went to Switzerland to see her family. We stayed with her brother and his wife for a few nights and then with one of the sisters and her husband for a night.

We spent most of our time in Lukerbad or Loeche-les-bains at an altitude of 1400 m. We rented a fully-equipped studio in the same building as Francoise and Edouard. Having fresh bread and croissants in the lobby every morning was certainly irresistible! The view from our balcony was stunning.

We did manage to go up to the Torrent pass and the Gemmi pass. both were at about 2300 m. with spectacular views. We spent our time walking the many trails, enjoying the view from the Burger Bad (thermal baths) and having coffee with fresh cream!

We ended our stay with a family get-together for Tante Betty's 90th birthday. It was a wonderful occasion for Gigi to see all her cousins and the remaining aunts and uncles.
