We have no idea where time has gone, but it is the end of the year again. It is probably a good sign that we have settled in well and enjoying Switzerland`s beauty.

Indeed, while we are still emotionally torn between Japan, Italy and Switzerland, every country has something that we would not want to miss. Yes, Switzerland is quiet, and a bit slow (something we have to get used to after 8 years in the big cities), but at the same time we just love the mountains and the lake in front of our door! And we can still visit Japan as tourists, right? So we did in April this year, not even 12 months after having moved to Switzerland :-) You can find some stories and photographs of our Japan trip here.

We have also started the Picture Gallery Switzerland, so have a look what we have been up to this year. We have also had quite some visitors this year, which we loved. Some special friends came even twice, and  told us it felt like holidays. Well, it definitely does, as long as you don`t have to work I guess :-)

Now we are just waiting for the snow to start the winter season in Champery, our second home, or maybe our first?

Take care and hope to see you very soon!
