...that I did not manage to upload earlier.

We have been to LUCERNE back in September. It was our first visit since we came to Switzerland and definitely not the last one. Since it was quite foggy all day we could not enjoy the nice scenery around - the rocky Alps surrounding the Lake Lucerne with the city on the western bank.



The same week was also a big popular sports event along the northern bank of the Zurich Lake.

We made some 45 km that day, my parents (who were here at that time) cycled and me on my inline skates. Anmar and Dima were still excused this year and relaxed in the sunshine.



Life can become difficult if you are a poor cow and these bloody humans put a bell around your neck. Especially if the latter one weights some 20 kg and your dear shepherd still expects you to walk down the runway in the local beauty contest with your head held high!
The contest takes place annually in Schindellegi, the village where my office is situated.





Autumn was short but beautiful, the picture below was taken about 3 weeks ago.



This week we had the first snow already, 20 cm in one night. Not bad for October.
Dima does not complain as long as we muffle up her properly :-)
