A special moment in my life.....

Switzerland 2008
When I think about the special moments in my life, they always seem to centre on the times I have travelled abroad.
                                      
One of those moments without a doubt would have to be my most recent holiday in 2008 to the magically captivating country of Switzerland, to visit my family but particularly to see my gorgeous favourite cousin Karin.

My visit was a total secret, unknown to her until I arrived and rang the door bell of her apartment. I remember as she grabbed me in a huge bear hug squeezing so tight as if she didn’t want to let me go, her look of utter stunned surprise was priceless and the best feeling ever.

Switzerland - the land of cuckoo clocks, silky smooth chocolate and well made luxurious time pieces.  In my opinion the month of December; is the best time to be in Zurich it’s an absolutely magical time of the year, the snow, the picture postcard lake Zurich, the majestic views of the alps,  Christmas light decorations hanging in every cobblestoned street, the scent of roasting chestnuts and hot chocolate made from real Lindt chocolate.

Feeling alot like Xmas?

St Moritz - the breathtaking resort enclave of the very rich and famous.
