Swiss Winter & Italian Spring 2006 by Kaj Nordstrom (2325) 2006-03-10 - 2006-03-21

Once more I decided to go skiing in Switzerland. Having viewed different maps and also searched the Internet, I found that my last visit had left enough challenges to enjoy another stay and also to develop my skills.

This was made true thanks to perfect conditions - sunny with freezing temperatures - and very "forgiving" skis. I had a wonderful time and did slopes I'd never dreamt of doing.

I then had a slow journey home searching for Spring with stays in Milano (Italy), Bregenz (Austria) and Stuttgart (Germany), only to arrive in Lund just after the last snowfall of the season... (5 photos)

In the Spring of 2003, just a couple of month before retirering from work, I had the opportunity to go to the United States for the first time in my life. I brought a digital camera, which I had borrowed from a friend, and all the pictures taken were ment as "normal" tourist photos.

However, with a digital media, I was able to lavish and returned with more than 300 images. Some of these I found suiteable for uploading to TrekEarth. And in the meantime I purchased my own digital camera ... (full story) (37 photos)
