This is a synopsis of the last week that we spent in Switzerland while on our recent holiday.

Fehraltorf is a village surrounded by farm lands, so you often see these vehicles passing through.

A church in Fehraltorf, where we spent the last few days at our friend's, Veronica's.

One day we took the train into Zurich.

How could we resist having a cappuccino and a sweet!

Another day we visited the area around Greifensee.

From there, we drove to the old hilltop village of Regensberg.

Here we were in Rapperswil, at the east end of the Lake of Zurich.

From Rapperswil we took a boat to the island of Ufnau.

These are Pinot Noir vines in front of a chapel that rests on 12th century ruins.

That evening we went out for a dinner at a nearby restaurant.
