It's hot here in Australia and I'm missing winter! To entertain myself and others who might be missing Switzerland, I've put together a wee slideshow, with the help of a toy I've just discovered:

Enjoy!

WOW, Mel that's great. So many memories, thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, we had rosti at the same place, yum.

Hope you are staying in the aircon, so over this heat! We really must catch up for a coffee. I lost your email address when our computer died.

Thanks for sharing your photos. I enjoyed the layout and the shots themselves.
We're headed to Switzerland in late August and I'm trying to plan which lake(s) to spend time at for 6 nights (before we head out on a cruise). I'm pushing towards Montreaux and Lake Geneva, but we have time for another lake if I could only decide. I was thinking Lake Como in Italy. Any thoughts? (I'll probably post this as a question on this site next weekend - I don't know how to get back to the questions I've asked to review the answers so I have to stay connected until all the answers come in.)
Oh, one more thing....what's rosti?

Enjoyed traveling alongside you, thru your pictures, this morning. No better way to start my day, that's for sure!

Well done!

but..when I look at this slideshow, why does my facebook profile come up for me to comment? I already unclicked a share box we were warned about before.. any ideas?

Great slideshow! We have just returned from a similar trip (same "place of origin" and many of the same destinations). We had lots and lots of snow however so I'm keeping cool now by sorting through my photos! Just loved Switzerland!

Loved it---grazie.
I also like the TRIP WOW program and have done about 6 of them. Tons of fun.

I don't understand it either, but TA seems to want to connect everything to FB - apparently they can tell if you have an account - I just joined FB a few weeks back, but I might bail, as I don't want everything interconnected.

Challenger - rosti is similar to hash browns, a popular potato dish in Switzerland; it comes in many varities.

Can't help with your lakes question, sorry.

ChallengerGrey

Thanks Melnqu8. We'll try the rosti. I'll look into Trip Wow based on your terrific postings.
Stay cool - I could send you some Chicago snow if you want!

Melnq8

I'd love some of that snow ChallengerGrey!

I forgot to mention that the very long, very detailed trip report that accompanies these photos is here on Fodor's. Just click on my name, and scroll down through my trip reports to April in the Alps.
