Switzerland - Giger

Chapter 38 - Switzerland - Giger

Dear Diary...
After all the running around in Zurich  looking at the Dada  (Cabaret Voltaire) place and....
Did you read the last chapter ? if not... Read here:
http://freeka-diary.blogspot.com/2011/10/switzerland-dada.html

I dont like to repeat things !!!

Anyyyyway.... After we left the Camping park, Dad had a surprise of his life (only a bluff !!) ha ha)
Males, males, males, males... They are all males.... Did you see the video on top ?
That was... After we leave the Camping park, Mum and dad made their way to Giger Museum in Château de Gruyères, a Medieval Village which has been kept  with its original features... as they say !!!

But anywayyy... After we left the camping park (did I say this before ??) Dad saw this massive camp (hectares and hectares) of land , full of Weed plants... MASSIVE !

Dad stopped me in the middle of the road and jumped out like mad running in direction of the fields.
No fences... nothing ! When dad get to touch the plants, he realize they are all males :( :( :...(
They had big heads but that was only seeds. Thousands and thousands of weed plants... only males !
THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL !!! If they have to make it, they should make it with females , not males !!!

Why ? why ? Dad was screaming in the middle of the road with a tear in the conner of his eye (Now is time for a bit of drama, just to make the scene more shocking !!) hahahahaha...

Anywayyyyy.... Nothing to do about that but dad nearly had a hearth attack.
Now you ask...
But how ?
Dad wonder the same !! How tha F***
But I say...
This is a step forward !
This plants will make fabric, rob, medicines, Bird food and more...
Do you want to know how ?

After all this excitement, mum and dad stopped for a coffee to calm down (as usual... always a good excuse to stop for a coffee !!)

They didn't bring even SEEDS... Ignorants

Anywayyy, after all this excitement (did I say this before ? Jesus, something is wrong with me today !?)
The way to Gruyère was amazing.... up up up up, that was the roads in Switzerland.

Magnificent views ... We stopped in a place where was an exhibition of Painted cows... yes, have a look in the photos  and you will see what I am talking about....

All was beautiful and finally we arrived in Gruyère, The village where the Giger museum is and... do not forget the famous Gruyère cheese.

O.M.G ... The view... The place... The bottle of whisky... The micro point... was all there !!

The parents were happy as a Pig in Shit ! :o)
First day , when we arrived, they only have visited the Bar and had a look around the (posh) village. The next day they visited the museum and went back to the bar again... You have to see the photos...
Mountains... Medieval Village... Beautiful.. beautiful.. beautiful and many tourist restaurants !!!

As a curiosity matter, parents asked one of the bar workers how many times Giger come to this pace.
The Girl in the bar told them that Giger lives in Zurich and comes around the museum 2 to 3 time s in a year.

The village have a castle and a church (as any village) and we had been walking the place up and down , from mountain to mountain... (bloody bottle of whisky.)
Anywayyyy... Do I need to say, we spent the night there and got back next morning to see the museum ? or did  I say this before ?
I think I did... not !

Words... dont come easy, to me.. na na na na .. na na .. you make me say... I love it... words dont come easy.
SORRY... only a song ! :)
But ey... have a look in the photos and you will see how amazing it was .. really was amazing ! :) :) :)

and again.. on the run... back to road...
On our way to France...
Off we go then...

Switzerland - DaDa

Chapter 37 - Switzerland - DaDa

Dear Diary...

After the relaxing days in Hungary, I finally got on my way to France but before I got to France, Dad had some Ideas to take me to Switzerland to visit some very special places he always dreamed to go.

 Now you ask...

What Places ? 

and I answer....

INSERT COIN

Dad is mad about Dadaism and we love the works of Giger too (more about Giger in late chapters) but for now, this chapter is about the first stop we made in Switzerland and the way there !

Lets start again...

Took us 1 day to arrive in Zurich (Switzerland) . 

 First night (on our way to Switzerland) we stop in a small village to sleep on a back of a church 

(pssst... very nice approach by one of the Nuns in the morning ;) 

We didn't get to stay in Zurich for too long but dad wanted to visit (Cabaret Voltaire) 

and now you ask...

What is Cabaret Voltaire ?

and I answer...

Is where DaDaism movement started in 1916 !

and then you ask again...

But what it is Dadaism ?

and I answer...

Look at Wiki page and read !!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada

Switzerland... What more can you expect other then Beautiful Mountains and views !?

IT IS  Beautiful !!

Finally, Zurich and Cabaret Voltaire bar / exhibitions place.

Words ? how can I explain the place ? Its DaDa ! 

Do not look like nothing, is not a Bar but sell alcohol, is not a Museum but still as it was left in 1922.

Is not a Art Gallery but have some exhibition running in the toilets... is not commercial but have a shop under selling Memorabilia...

Dada it is a is, without the Bs but with some niiis !

Thats Dada !

Shocking !?

Thats why Dada exist... to make what is not normal, to create what is Immoral, to change what is normal... to destroy prototypes !

Is no shelf for dadaism !

BUT... Zurich is not just Dadaism, actually, is a very City feel and very square looking buildings.

Ofcorse we had visited the most tourist part of the city. Restaurants, shops was everywhere. 

Very artistic directed (as Giger lives there too;)

After mum and dada ;) have been to Cabaret Voltaire bar drinking something , they walked a bit around but soon left the place to keep driving me up to the mountains to visit (HR Giger Museum in Gruyère, near the France boarder) 

 It was still a long way to go, so they decided to stop in a Camping park for a good sleep, food and shower.

The camping park was in Salavaux and it was a big T.c.s camp park.

T.C.S is a big camping parks company working in Switzerland, they manage most camping parks)
Good Things about this camping park...
Very nicely situated near to a lake and lots of facilities

Bad things about this park...

1 - When we arrived at 7.00pm, was no one on the gate and we have to be helped by some resident in the restaurant to let us go in and get us a space

2 - Next morning before we leave, we had to pay 40 Euros for the night, which was very expensive considering we do  have to pay extra 2.00 Euros for 30.00 minutes of Internet.

 but ey... Mums did Cook a nice dinner and next day we had shower and we were ready to go for the next adventure in the mountains.

Do you want to know what's going to happen next ??
