- What is the funniest thing that happened to you on an Untour?
- We usually make a side trip to Appenzeller land. My son likes to visit the graveyard there - very beautiful and historical. One late afternoon, we lingered about an hour there. As we were leaving, we were approached by a lovely older woman who we had seen watering flowers along w/ other people.
We made introductions, and she gave a lengthy recount of Appenzell history. Between her English and our German, we could get along and join the discussion. We tried to go on our way but she insisted we see her historical home a few blocks away. This seemed like a nice invitation and she was insistent, so we went along.
Indeed, she had a very old and beautiful home - much antique artwork, carvings and such. She made coffee and brought out cookies. My son said, "no thanks" to the cookie, which made the woman a little mad and she really tried to force the cookie.
We finally excused ourselves. My son said he felt like Hansel when the woman tried to force cookies upon him. We heard later thru some folks in Urnasch that the woman frequently "picks up" tourists in the graveyard and takes them to her home for cookies. We will steer clear next time we see her.

Words of wisdom if I ever heard them: "Hike until I drop, then eat something delicious with ice cream for dessert."
How about putting some of those great pictures you take up here.
I am going to send you a friend request. (We recommend that you only say yes to friend requests from folks you know, so we like to give you a heads up its. coming.)
Be sure to let us know if we can be of help.
Happy to be your friend. It looks like we share a love of Switzerland. Most of my time has been spent in the greater St. Gallen area since that is where my brother lives. Last fall we went on a Ticino Untour and loved the Italian speaking area....much softer in all regards. I grew up reading Heidi! Ann
