Comments on: Summer Holidays in Switzerland http://www.janinedalton.com/blog/archives/2006/summer-holidays-in-switzerland/ Random ramblings from the home office of a web developer in Dublin, Ireland Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:27:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jayne http://www.janinedalton.com/blog/archives/2006/summer-holidays-in-switzerland/#comment-2239 Jayne Sun, 25 Jun 2006 11:23:54 +0000 http://www.janinedalton.com/blog/archives/2006/summer-holidays-in-switzerland/#comment-2239 Aidan's right, Copenhagen is lovely too ... Tivoli gardens are well worth a visit. Yes, Scandinavia can be sunny and warm too but hopefully not unbearable because of its more northerly location (further north than Galway!). I think you have to be very close to, or within the Arctic circle to experience perpetual day / night(?). My visits have only ever been further south. Yes I noticed my last comment was being 'shunned'. That's OK, I'm getting used to this. As far as I know we have good virus checkers here but I've been getting this reaction quite a lot lately, mostly with emails being hurled back at me. Perhaps I should change my perfume. :-D Aidan’s right, Copenhagen is lovely too … Tivoli gardens are well worth a visit.

Was only in Geneva before, so can't comment on Zurich unfortunately! As for Geneva though, it's beautiful, a really nice city with the Alps only an hour away so visiting there would be nice. As for the non-tropical and less popular recommendations, I'd have to say Copenhagen is really nice as are both Gothenburg and Stockholm so I'd hightly recommend those three cities too! Good to hear from you again anyway! Hey Janine, sounds like a pretty good choice! Was only in Geneva before, so can’t comment on Zurich unfortunately!

How about Scandanavia? (Also pricey). Maybe Norway? Both the mountains and fjords are sights to fill the soul. The people are wonderful, food good and everywhere is so *clean*. ...I sound like I'm from the Norwegian Tourist Board!
