The area we live in is called the Berner Oberland (Bernese Alps) - very famous high mountains (Eiger, Jungfrau...), nice for hiking. The Jungfrau cog railway goes to the Jungfrau railway station, the highest in Europe. The area with it's high mountains and lakes is also a perfect place for paragliding, base jumping (if you're mad), sailing and other watersports in Summer and skiing in Winter.

Marc is by far, the best host. When you stay there you will feel like at home, it doesn't feel like working, it's more like giving back a part of what you receive. Dani and I had a great time there, thank you for that Marc. I hope you can visit us in Costa Rica.

Cyrus stayed with us for a couple of weeks. We enjoyed having him with us a lot and he did a good job in the vineyard where he was weeding and tying the vines to the stakes. We spent the evenings talking about our similar jobs - politics and the media. And we watched a lot of football on tv together. Thanks Cyrus!
