Rapperswil. The
kinderzoo (link in German) was closed but we had fun poking about the old medieval town centre and looking at the shops. The Christmas decorations were incredibly quaint and I've been trying to replicate the look in our house ever since - without success. It was so peaceful and so quiet even though it was a week day. So different from Sydney. Admittedly these shots were taken around lunch time when most businesses close to go home for lunch - another custom we don't have in Sydney. I think there's quite a few things we can learn from the Swiss.
There is a
castle, and below that a
monastery right on the shore of a lake. You can't get better real estate if you tried. A lot was closed because it was Winter, but I saw enough to make me want to come back in the warmer months.

| Beautiful medieval houses |

| They keep deer here. |
There is also a timber
boardwalk that replaces the original ancient wooden bridge that crosses the lake. A little chapel still stands there.

| Swans everywhere added to the atmosphere of peace |

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I do appreciate each and every one and will do my best to reply. I do apologise for the comment moderation I've been forced to put into place thanks to Mr Dark's spamming. It was not so much the spamming that bothered me - it was his appalling grammar.
