Up close with a St Bernard

We got to visit the home of some St Bernards. Gosh, they are BIG!
 
 
Big enough to be able to pull us on a ride!


They start off small, as you can see from this bunch of babies.
Aww... so cute!

Swiss culture

Aunty Chris came over for a visit and mum showed her around for a bit of the swiss culture.
Okay, this one is actually in France, but seeing how it borders Switzerland, it could be argued that visiting one of the old towns in neighbouring France is part of the Swiss culture. (In this case, Annecy)
 
 
Switzerland and Chocolate.  

 The oldest chocolate factory in Switzerland. Yum Yum.
 
On top of a swiss mountain in the Interlaken area (Schilthorn), overlooking the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (in the background).
Lunch was in the revolving restaurant where some scenes from the James Bond film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was shot.
 
 
 Typical swiss countryside.

On yer bike!

 We went out to practise riding our bikes around the lovely man-made lake Divonne (in France).

 
I have a new bike and I couldn't wait to ride it!
 
Look at me go!

 
And when it got too tiring, we just hopped on Dad's "bike"!
