This blog is...

For my English-speaking friends, in the USA, or elsewhere in the world. I promised, as I was moving back home, to start a blog in English... it took me time, but now I'm doing it, and I'll try to keep up with it as much as I can!

Spring is hot in Switzerland too!

Actually, I never thought it could be!
I really don't remember so high temperatures in May... over 30°C (86°F) yesterday! As hay-fever hit quite hard, we tried to go higher in the mountains, to change the kind of pollen.
The "Black Lake" (Schwarzsee) is approx 45 mins from home, and already 1000m high (approx 3300 ft).
We rode our bikes around the lake, and then, Vladi took a swim, with the kids. I still don't like "cold" water. Although it didn't seem to be that cold.

1000 m is not really high. These are the "prealps", and not the Alps yet. But I like this kind of landscape, not too oppressing.
Schwarzsee is also a family kind of ski resort, that we'll definitely have to try next Winter!
