Cinque Terre
I have spent a few days in the beautiful Cinque Terre Area (located in Liguria, Italy).
It is an area of rugged landscapes, with hills falling directly in the sea. On the hills, terraces were built to allow some agricultural activities. Quite a part of the area is covered with vineyards, but there are also many other trees, including olives, lemon, cherries to name a few.
The five villages of the region are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
The hiking trails are well maintained but quite steep. Be prepared to climb and descend step after step...

Flühli - Sattelpass - Glaubenberg
I had to take advantage of the beautiful autumn weather we had yesterday and went on a hike in the Entlebuch area. Walking in the moorlands is not easy, but the rewards are well worth it. Stunning views and colorful vegetation have been with us the whole way.

Buenos Aires
It has taken a long time, but I can finally upload a first gallery of pictures taken in Argentina. I will start with the capital city, Buenos Aires.
It is a city with plenty to see, architecturally and culturally. A few examples are below, more can be seen in the gallery.
Avenue 9 de Julio, the world’s widest avenue.
Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada (office of the president)
The cemetery of Recoleta
