Another year, another few days in Milan. I took a mere seven photos this time so I won’t keep any one from you.

Marseille was a first in our adult lives. We had wanted to go for some time but for some reason, it had never been at the top of our lists. When the pandemic dictated us not to fly a whole lot, we finally took the trip. And we weren’t disappointed. The city’s architecture, its harbor, and «La Cité Radieuse» by the Swiss-French architect Corbusier were well worth the trip, not to mention the abundance of great restaurants, wine bars and discovering some new specialty coffee shops.

We drove back from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo last summer. We spent a few days there, before we briefly visited Mostar and paid a visit to the historic village of Počitelj. Fueled up with a lot of heat, pita and cevapi, we returned back to Switzerland.

Just like most people, we did not fly for quite some time after the pandemic hit. We went abroad by train twice last year (Milan, Hamburg). This summer, though, we were on our first flight in more than a year and a half. We flew to Sarajevo, rented a car and drove to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We returned to Bosnia a few days later – my next post will be about that.

With travel restrictions caused by the pandemic, we have not been on an airplane in almost a year and a half now. Instead, we spent a lot of time at my parents’ chalet on the mountainside near Gstaad. It’s a really beautiful area with white, snowy mountains all around.

Just before Christmas, we spent a few super relaxing days at the 7132 with its beautiful thermal baths and enjoyed one of the best meals in a long time (if not ever) at their Silver restaurant.  

Our second trip after the first lockdown: a few rather cold summer days in Hamburg.

Milan was our first trip after the first lockdown. It’s just a few hours by train from home. We should go more often. Great coffee at Orsonero, natural wines at Enoteca Naturale.

Later than ever, here’s my last year’s flashback in a few pictures. Didn’t take many photos, hardly travelled at all. A weird year, and a tough one to open a café, which is what we did. Previously only roasting coffee as Drip Roasters, we opened the café in March of 2020. Despite a difficult first year, we’re happy the café is still around. We have also managed to grow as a roastery and move to a new, bigger location.   Bern, Switzerland This is where I live (or nearby at least). Due to the pandemic, we spent more time in this beautiful city and in its surroundings in 2020 than ever before.   Gstaad, Switzerland My family has a beautiful […]
