Last
Saturday I went my mum’s friend had a vernissage and I decided to go there as
well. It was a warm and sunny, but the weather forecast said rain. I still
decided to wear a dress and thank god I did. It was such a lovely day.
The
vernissage was great. The paintings looked amazing and it was a wonderful
experience finding little objects, people or animals in them. My mum’s friend
does intuitive paintings and there is no concept behind that. At the end there
is this amazing result and the first words that come to her mind become the
title.
We joined a
drink and some snacks there and then decided to move on to the village.
Brunnen is
located in the canton of Schwyz, central Switzerland. It’s surrounded by lots
of beautiful mountains and it’s also se t at a lake: the „Vierwaldstättersee“,
I don’t think we have an English for the lake ;).
It’s a
small little village, very cute with lots of independent shops. The stores were
closed, so we walked to the lake and sat down right next to it for a drink and
a small dinner. It was so nice, the sun was shining, the view was great, just
so relaxing.
We even got
some free entertainment. There was a wedding at the hotel, so first of all I
was checking out the bride, her hair, der dress and then also the guests,
that’s always so much fun. You can come up with stories about their
backgrounds. Before their reception started they had some typical Swiss music,
a group of “Alphorn” players. They were all dressed nicely in Swiss traditional
costumes. The Alphorn is a long wooden instrument and it’s really hard to play,
I tried it once. There was also some yodelling. Here is a pic and a video:
This day
turned out to be fabulous, without doing that much planning, being spontaneous
makes you experience great things and I have to say that I live in a beautiful
country, I should really go explore more areas in Switzerland. Maybe someday
even with some of you, I’d love to show you around.
