              a
                  long weekend in paris  
            more
      than 10 year have passed since dani & markus lived in paris. so
      we returned for some sight-seeing that we never did then (yes, we even
      went to visit the louvre). with two well prepared guides i was in good
      hands ;)   |

                    week in turkey  
            mam & i
      had a great time in turkey - soaking up the sun, reading, swimming in the
      sea, playing tennis, table tennis and cards, talking, drinking fresh orange
      juice and cappuccinos, relaxing in the hammam or turkish bath,...   |

            as there was a week of rain predicted in the ticino, we spontaniously decided
      to go to portugal to relax and have fun on the beautiful beaches!     |

          another
                  long weekend in england   
                  for next to nothing we booked another flight to england. this
                  time we spent most of the short holidays with my parents in
                  broadstairs: swimming in the sea, soaking up some sun on the
                  beach, walking to ramsgate, watching the carneval, eating fish & chips
                  or bangladesh specialities, checking out the pubs, meeting
                  friends and enjoying the time in the wonderful flat. then we
                  continued to london, where we enjoyed spending the eve in wagamama's
      with angelique (my cousine) and declan, with whom we spent 2 weeks in china.
      thank you all for your hospitality! see some pics here...   |

          milsom-family-weekend
                    2006  
                    as usual it was a surprise,
                    where the milsom-weekend will be spent... we set off early
                    in the morning by train from st.gallen to konstanz and had
                    breakfast on the train. over the border, in germany, we went
                    to see some sharks and fish in sealife.
                    after some shopping at the lago we ate lunch in the sun,
                    played football and slept in the park. by catamaran we went
                    to friedrichshafen and lindau, where we stayed at the beautiful schachen-schlössle.
                    after a swimm in the pool and a delicious dinner, the 4 youngest
                    ones (exept nanouk:) went to town for a drink or two in town...
                    on sunday we walked along the lake to the island of lindau
                    where we soaked up some sun, ate ice cream and took the boat
                    back to switzerland. the weather was perfect and we really
                    took our time to talk, relax and enjoy. thanx 4 all!  |

                    - ladis - serfaus 
                after 7 days on the snowboard or skis we
                felt every mussle we have... but it was great! every morning
                at 9am we stood on the well prepared slopes in the sunshine.
                there were hardly any people around, the snow conditions were
                brilliant, the food delicious, the people friendly, we got enough
                sleep and enjoyed every minute in fiss
                - ladis - serfaus, a great skiing-area with 53
                lifts and a huge variety of slopes in
                the tirol! |

          piesendorf 
            we spent one brilliant week biking, hiking, 
            sleeping, laughing, eating, relaxing, playing tennis, reading, going 
            out, writing, playing and just enjoying our time in a wonderful hotel 
            in piesendorf, austria. unfortunately the weather wasn't so good the 
            first few days. maybe that's why we appreciated the sun so much in 
            the end...  |

          summerholidays 
            2003 
            we realized last year how wonderful our small 
            switzerland can be - so we decided to spend our holidays biking in 
            CH. we started with a biketour from zernez past s-chanf and val mora. 
            then we took a beautiful small camping in st.maria, val müstair. 
            there the weather wasn't as hot as in all the rest of switzerland. 
            after a short adventurous trip over the umbrail-pass to stelvio we 
            came over the bernina-pass to posciavo. there we biked up to val di 
            campo and hiked to the fairy-tale-lakes in the woods. in the ticino 
            we biked up the monte bar and crossed over to san luco - bocchetta 
            di san bernardo and back to tesserete. that was probably the best 
            bike-tour 
            i've ever been on!  
            the next day we hiked from monte lema to monte tamaro, where we met 
            mam & dad. coming down we saw the preparations for the mountain-bike-downhill-wm. 
            soon after we celebrated the wedding 
            with of ursula and andreas and spent two wonderful days in thun! |

          tandem 
            2002 
            we set as our aim to cycle once around switzerland. 
            the first day we set off in the sunny morning. in rorschach we met 
            ilaria and ursin for lunch at the bodensee and then continued to stein 
            am rhein where we had a refreshing dip in the rhine. in schaffhausen 
            we came past the munot and the rheinfall - like tourists ;) in rheinfelden 
            we stayed with our friends ursula and andreas. after delemont we visited 
            the expo02 in neuchatel and biel. after yverdon and lausanne we headed 
            for vevey... and from then on it rained and rained and rained and 
            poured down like crazy. after montreux, martigny, sion and sierre 
            we came to brig where all our clothes, the tent, all the luggage was 
            soaking wet. so we gave up and took the train back to buchs... we 
            packed the tandem and our beachstuff in the car and set off the next 
            morning to italy, where the weather was better. in the ticino we cycled 
            once around the lago di lugano and were quite happy to have dry clothes 
            when we got back! | 
           |

          tandem 
              2001  
              as the last holidays were so great we decided 
              to rent the tandem again. this time our aim was the isola d'elba
              in italy. we cycled 1058 km from genua to pisa - isola d'elba -
              volterra - san gimignano - lucca - to la spezia and took the train
              back home to räfis. again we spent a brilliant time, met loads
              of interesting people and enjoyed many sunny days in bella italia!  | 
           |

          tandem 
            2000  
            we rented a tandem at velostern 
            and took the train to lugano. from there we pedaled through italy 
            to the south of france, all along the south coast. it was great to 
            spend so much time on the bike - together - so close that you could 
            talk and enjoy the wonderful nature around us! after over a thousand 
            interesting and funny, sportive and relaxing kilometers we arrived 
            back in switzerland. |
