The ongoing saga...... (Somewhere, here we come)

Switzerland here we come, or not. And so the tale of the Barnes's going to foreign land continues, but now we're not exactly sure where we'll end up. Word has filtered through the channels the destination may well be changed to Amsterdam (although the duration is yet to be determined, it may be 2 or 3 months). So,cheeses will be replaced by other forms of fare and the cafes will no longer be a place to buy a coffee.

The frustration is growing due to the variables that keep being thrust in our path, however, the end result will no doubt remain the same - eventually we will end up somewhere in the lands of Europe. Let it be no surprise to you all if the next entry is entitled "Budapest here we come".

For now we once again play the waiting game and with anticipation wait for further instructions........

[T-Bone and Alwyn: Hope to see you over there! When we find out where there is going to be.]

Regards to you all.

The long and short of it.....

Hello everyone,

Finally it seems that I have something noteworthy of blogging about. To those that don't know, Ness and I are heading to Switzerland. Keeping the droll detail short, Ness has been offered a position to help set up the new Scenic Tours Europe office (the T and C's of which kept changing) and I am lucky enough to be able to accompany her. We will be going for approximately 4 months, sometime in late March, and will be living in either Zug or Lucerne.


From all I have found so far, Switzerland is one of the most expensive and strict countries on the planet. Their laws regarding foreign workers has made it nearlly impossible for me to get any form of work permit prior to going, my hope is that I can rectify that while I am over there. Fingers crossed.

Despite all the hurdles and logistics we faced in just deciding if we could actually go, somehow we've managed to get organised and all we are really waiting on is to find out the date that we fly out.

I think that about covers it for now,

Regards to all; to those that are still overseas, those who have come back and those who are about to go again.
