We have now visited Lucerne in Switzerland, and this is a city we really fell in love with! Besides being characterised by its beautiful old wooden bridges, the city is surrounded by beautiful mountains and lakes. We made our way to the top of Mount Pilatus, using the world's steepest rack-and-pinion railway.

We have now had the chance to try hang gliding in Interlaken, Switzerland. There was no doubt that Peter would agree to fly, but the question was whether I (Helena) was also prepared to throw myself into the air ...? The dramatic start of the day was then followed by a lovely boat trip on Lake Brienz, and a nice hike to a waterfall.

The Lavaux wine region in Switzerland is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the vineyard terraces built by monks 800 years ago. Now this is a picturesque area with green vineyard terraces sloping steeply down to the green-blue lake, and small villages where family-owned vineyards are densely packed. Not far from here you'll also find ... Chaplin's World!

In the Ardeche region of France, you'll find unparalleled scenery with a dramatic canyon, a long river with crystal clear water and intensely green forests. There are also lots of deep caves, some of which are home to 36,000-year-old paintings. We tried gliding down the long river in a canoe and fell in love. We want to go back!

One of the reasons we went back to Cannes and the French Riviera, was that we wanted to make a boat trip to Sainte-Marguerite, which we missed the last time we were here. The beautiful island Île Sainte-Marguerite is one of the so-called Lerin islands, and here we could, among other things, swim as well as check out lyxy yachts and odd water activities.

We have visited the Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary or Karlsbad as it is called in German. This health resort in the Czech Republic is probably the most beautiful city we have seen. ever. It feels almost unreal to walk around the 18th century houses, columns, fountains, spas and parks. If you get the chance to travel here sometime - do it!
