What brave cousins they are!

Setting off from La Chaux d'Abel to Etang de la Gruere... obviously despite Tanzania like temperatures the lad went ahead!

Great fun with Papa/Uncle Andre on a short rest midway!

Tongue out and off she set!

Mama is soooooo proud!

Swapping the life west.

And little Marco did extremely well, too! Good that Nuggelis swim!

Sharing a couscous salad and drink on the lake! Its a beautiful summer evening, and the big ones decide to walk all the way home to Tramelan!

Andre does a great job, and a beer at Richards is well deserved!

What a beautiful day!

Ella Tili's New Stars on the Window

Good Memories of Janet and Robert's visit to Switzerland in June 2009

Ruedi, Robert and Madame in La Chaux de Breuluex - Madame has been spoiling Janet and Robert!

A light and rain free moment at Creux du Van - we even observed some Ibex!

Papa and happy Ella Tili!

Grandma and Happy Ella Tili in comfy chairs!

Waiting for the train in La Chaux de Breuleux - never forget to push the button!

Ella Tili with a Yorkshire Dale lamb, and Grandma's handmade scarescrow!

Much fun fooling around with Granddad!

BBQ in Tramelan - a rare moment of good weather!

Wonderful skirt Ella Tili got from Grandma! Mama and Ella Tili love it! Thank you both very much for your visit!

Ella Tili riding a heavy bike

Mama had chosen the skirt and top, Ella Tili the hat, the hand bag, and at last the necklace. Before leaving the exchanged the orange one with the coloured one!

Beautiful she looked our girl!

And where was she off to? To ride the heaviest motorcycle in Tramelan!

Yes, Papa, I can do this!

Riding home from Tramelan dessous in the train!

Häberli Dubach Holidays in the REKA village in Montfaucon

Ella Tili, her rucksack and Mama on the way into "Ferien"!

Calling Papa! We go on holidays!

First of August was a fantastic evening and we set off for a pique nique dinner at the Les Enfers Chapel!

"Rennä" home and calling Papa once again!

Early morning coffee with Mama!

Shopping by bycicle and with rucksack!

No Mama, you promised Bisons, but these are water buffalos!

At last we found them at the end of Switzerland! in Boncourt! (also a Papa had to "schimpfe" with his son because he did not "fouge"!)

Waiting for the train at the end of the world - in front the biggest cigarette company in Switzerland, but the railway station completely abandonned, and not even an "automat" for Ella Tili "zum Drücke"!

Thoughtful on the way to REKA creche...

...only to decide shortly afterwards that this is nothing compared to Les Lucioles and Arc en Ciel, in fact completely inacceptable!

And anyway, creche with Linda, Vera and Kilian is so much better!

Reading books with Vera!

A real good breakfast before setting out on the Pre Peti-Jean- La Combe Hike!

Discovering another subterrestrial mill...its water disappearing here in La Combe! Where will it re-appear again?

Ella Tili misses Ice-Cream in La Combe!

And swimming every evening was the high light of the day! In the end Ella Tili paddled like a dog all alone into the pool and back!

Kilian is the greates, thinks Ella Tili!

Oh she can be a little pain at times, things Kilian!

Now on the way to Soubey!

And we found the water of La Combe re-appearing in the mills in Soubey!

Well deserved ice-cream in Soubey! All kids great hikers!

Patiently waiting for the train in St. Ursanne!

Every evening a story - and none of the kids missed a single moment out of it!

Another great summer day waiting for us! Breakfast on the terrace!

Early morning excursions into the green grass in Piji and bip!

Thanks to wonderful babysitting of Linda, Mamas had many peaceful moments together! Thank you so much, Linda!

Mama's Plum tart too good to get dressed first? Or maybe "Mi"?

Last hike of the week: to the chapel the women of St. Brais had constructed during the war! Ella Tili sharing a banana with Mama. She peeled it herself!

Salad, deep fried carp and French fries are the two first courses of the "Menu Maison" in the "Pomme d'Or" in Montfaucon - warmly recommended says Ella Tili!

Ella Tili and Mama ate it all! It was really tasty, and Mama thoroughly enjoyed to go out with Ella Tili, she is such a great girl already, and everybody in the restaurant was impressed! She evcen went to pay for Mama, and brought the credit card back!

The best ever "Cremeschnitte" to sweeten off the end of our holiday!
