250: Couch surfing in Switzerland

Hurrah, today I arrived in Switzerland for the Zurich leg of my holiday. I'm very excited as the first stop is with friends Melanie and Lukas and their cute little kitty - Louline, who I'm sharing the couch with. Couch surfing is an official holiday accommodation option these days thanks to this site. But I already knew Melanie as she came and stayed with my family about 6 years ago while studying English in Australia. It's so great to finally see her again. We have lots of catching up to do and I can't wait to see some of the local spots around her hometown.

135: Chestnuts for roasting

Trying to recreate childhood memories here. When we used to live in Switzerland sometimes we would head down to Lake Geneva for a walk or a rollerblade. Hey! It was the 90's. In the winter there was a man with a little cart that sold roasted chestnuts. I've always wanted to get my hands on some again, but up until now, hadn't stumbled across any. This evening in the supermarket, BINGO! Surprising since our local Coles is stocking less and less each time we go in. But now I just want to roast them, nestled amongst the coals in the Weber bbq, wrap them in newspaper and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
