CYCLISTS’ REUNION, SEPT. 2010
|
|
|
| This year’s
cyclists’ reunion was organised by Christine and Philippe, based in
Thun. For a change, we got to see some beautiful corners of another part
of Switzerland. We were guided from the Swiss capital city of Bern,
through the lovely pastural countryside of Emmental to Thun, the
thriving capital of the Bernese Oberland. |

| As usual we spent the night at
a farmhouse with rooms/barn accommodation. After a long haul and push up
hill we were warmly greeted by Franz and Rita Schwarz in their beautiful
Bruffhof, outside Obergoldbach. |

Dinner was as creative as it
gets with colourful flowers as part of each salad dish in the buffet
accompanying a very generous BBQ. |

|
| Sunday’s weather exceeded our
highest hopes and t-shirts were the order of the day. The perfect alpine
backdrop made our little loop all the more exotic. |

Cecilia, the newest member of
our cycling troope, is smitten with her little perch in the trailer,
while Papi Philippe sweats out front. Even Darina was taking notes for
Kurt’s proposed crossing of the Andes at the tender age of 92! Many
thanks to Christine and Philippe for organising such an enjoyable
weekend. |
