Hi CoventryCarol
Do you know the Christmas "Coventry Carol"? As a Covkid I ought to be able to recognize it, if I heard it, but probably wouldn't.
I am not going on this tour, but I did go on it in September 2013. The weather wasn't brilliant when we went but we had a delightful holiday with our base being the Hotel Weisses Kreuz in Feldkirch.
My highlights of the holiday were going on the cable car to the summit of Diedamskopf, Lindau and Lake Constance and the train journey to St. Moritz. We were very fortunate the day we were in Appenzell. We were held up, quite by luck. The cows were being brought down from the mountain pastures for the winter, literally hundreds of them,bedecked with flowers and bells. The cows yielding the most milk wearing the biggest and heaviest bells. Not to be outdone the farmers and their children were all dressed in their traditional refinery. Initially it was awesome but after about half an hour--oh no, how many more cows.
Kind regards
Di
