We did it again … and added another country to our list. We moved back to Europe – Switzerland this time. More specifically we ended up in Zug in the German speaking part of Switzerland.

Although we are getting used to moving around (this is Johan’s 8th country and Karl’s 6th!), moving internationally continues to be a big adventure every time. We moved out in South Africa at the end of January and moved into our new place in Zug mid-February. We are still up to our necks in boxes, trying to shoehorn a medium-sized house into a city apartment, but we’re getting things sorted out and starting to feel at home in our new location.

Changing from South Africa to Switzerland takes some getting used to, particularly since we moved from
summer in South Africa to winter in Switzerland. And, of course, everyone tells us we’re having record amounts of cold weather. The snow-line has come down to visit the city folk, and enough snow comes off the balcony railing to make a couple snowballs. In South Africa, we’d still be using the pool.

The following pictures from both sides of our move give a glimpse of some of the differences (click on the image to get a larger version of the photo).

More about our adventures in Switzerland will undoubtedly follow!
