Bump :)

Our trip to Zurich in 2016 was great (but short), last year we did the same thing (but Berlin, Germany) and right now we are en route to Bern.
Same plan again: three nights in a hotel, some sightseeing and a Jojo Mayer/Nerve concert.

Hey, it was my turn to go to Switzerland  :rant:.

Just kidding mate, have a safe trip (and lots of fun)  :salute:.

You know you're in Switzerland when there's a Wenger in your apartment:



And a Vic:

"A SAK and a kitchen knife you say?...
Nope, haven't seen them. Are you sure they were there when the last ones left?"

Sounds like a great trip to a beautiful area and a nice road trip too. I would like to do it soon too :)

:rofl:

Actually, that Wenger is in very bad condition. It's dirty, the pliers don't work and the blade lock won't engage (dangerous!).
The kitchen knife is OK though :)
I'll leave it here because the Airbnb lady is super friendly.

Do it!

Actually it's crazy, it's a pretty long drive for just a long weekend. My daughter did OK in the car though. She's the best  :dd:

sorry, I wanted to say "Europe" as in a city you can visit on a short trip from any EU country  :salute:

Even the bed sheets have a crossbow label, for a minute I thought I saw a vintage tang stamp in the wardrobe.

Cool stuff (Klötzli):



Spartan PS, Chinese Zodiac SAKs, VX Colors, cow scales, Edisona, XAVT, funky Swizas, Bern SAKs (Vic and Wenger), LE alox models, some bicolor alox SAK (did not take a closer look), etc.:



They also had about 42,000 scissors on display :P

Another candy store :)







Brushed gold Ambassador for a decent price!
And a Morgarten Battle Series SAK. It was relatively cheap so I almost bought it. It would have completed the series of seven for me. I'll probably regret not buying it :D
Somehow Morgarten is still available new even though it's from 1983. Saw it online too and in the flagship store in Zürich.
