Wilkommen to Switzerland

Leaving behind the near blizard conditions that most of Lancashire awoke to this morning, Sarah and I touched down at Zürich's Kloten Airport a few hours ago, beginning a working holiday amidst a gentle snowfall which will take us through many of Switzerland's many photogenic locales. Through the generous hospitality of a family member who maintains a home with a breathtaking view of the Zürichsee (Lake Zürich), this world-renown city of finance will be our base of operations for the next ten days as we explore the country for Christmas markets and other sights thoughout this Alpine winter wonderland. Immediately on our agenda are visits to Luzern, Interlaken, the Rheinfall near Lake Constance, plus anywhere else the Swiss rail system may take us.

A journal of our pre-Christmas winter adventure is also planned, so tune into this blogspot for your daily briefing.
