virtual tour - rogerland

hurray, we finally depart to rogerland. our first stop is basel, roger's home town. we will go to TC Old Boys where roger was a junior champion. the center court there is now named after roger. can you see it in the slideshow? yes it's red dirt. roger grew up on clay, so don't be surprised that he won the french!

our second stop is zug, a beautiful small town near zurich. roger lived not far away from zug but we don't want to intrude his privacy :) zug has a beautiful lake, and we can have tasty cheese at its market near the lake. from zug, it's another 15 mins train to lucern which is a gateway to alps. we can just have beer and relax under the sun by the beautiful lake, or we can take cable car to the top of the mountain. but if you enjoy skiing, probably we should go there again in the winter.

harry bear is going to lugano, the italian lakes region, which is about 2 hours train from lucern. we will not go there this time. instead, we will go to the capital of rogerland, bern, a town named after bear. before we explore this most well preserved medieval town, we detour to thun from where we take a cruise sailing on lake thun. if we are lucky to be caught in a storm, we will see a completely breathtaking scene. but if you are a soccer fan, you should hurry back to bern to meet the orange army. it was flashback EM08 netherlands vs france, although the french fans were nowhere to see.
