What could be the benefit of being at home after a knee surgery? Spontaneously nothing comes to my mind, as there is pain, immobility and every little thing takes much longer than usual.
But if I wouldn’t have been at home at that time, I wouldn’t have been able to take the amazing pictures you will see in this blog.

After showing Mustafa (a friend of mine at work) my fireworks photos taken at the “Seenachtsfest” in Lachen (our neighbour village),

he revealed to me that he had signed up for a “Night-Photography” photo work-shop in the city of Zurich. So I decided to join him and also convinced Markus my other photo enthusiast friend from work to sign up as well.

If I could I would have jumped a double salto for joy, instead I jumped around in the snow, rolled in the snow and kicked my legs in the air like a turtle on its back, and shouted yes, yes, yes ! Right there I decided I wanted to be a photographer, wanted to share all these beautiful places, with whoever wants to see, through my photos and in writing.

We came a day before the wedding, to do some sightseeing in this 4 million people metropole, and I’m really glad we did ! They told us it was easiest to take the metro to the city centre, so we did just that. Getting a ticket was one thing… once at the platform we were lost ! Everything in Greek (meaning unreadable), and not a soul around. Luckily after some time more people showed up, and we could ask. Yes, we are about to board the metro, the blue line, to the Syntagma, the main square in Athens. Once on it, it was easy, change once at Syntagma to the red line metro, and about 45 minutes later we got to our hotel.
Our hotel, the Grecotel Pallas Athena, is totally cool, wonderful rooms and a very friendly staff. It’s very conveniently located, close to the city centre, and only about 100m south from the metro station Omonia. In about 15 minutes you can walk to the Monastiraki Square, which is THE square in the Plaka, the old town.

Juerg is definitely not a shop-a-holic, but creative as he is, he proves that ( from a photographic point of view) shopping centres at Christmas time are not just stress, they can be fun, inspiring and they are beautiful….
