| Lake Geneva |
I've just had a lovely few days away visiting my husband in Lausanne, which is on Lake Geneva, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. We were surrounded by some lovely scenery and the weather was wonderfully warm and summer-like.

There were some wonderful market stalls selling all manner of edible leaves and toadstools as well as more normal produce.

| Vegetable stall selling dandelion and wild garlic leaves as well as normal salads leaves and other vegetables. |

| Stall selling a wide variety of edible funghi |
Lucky you! I spent some time in the area in my teens and was impressed with its spectacular beauty - and its cleanliness. Enjoy your break.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gai, I had a lovely time and the scenery was pretty spectacular. The Alps seem to be the backdrop to almost everything.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos Karin! We've had a couple of road trips through the Alps - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteKay :)
Indeed, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI'd only paid a very brief visit of a few hours to the Rheinfall at Shaffhausen before this, nipping over the border while holidaying on Lake Constance.
We spent a holiday in Austria and holidays in Southern Germany when I was in my late teens and early 20's. The last time I saw the Alps was 10 year ago when we went to Lake Constance for the day (from Ulm, not the UK).
So beautiful, it is truly hard to believe such a place exits! I will have to place it on my big long list of places to visit. I am so jealous!
ReplyDeleteSarah, doesn't New Zealand have similar scenery?
