The Biomechanical Giger Bar
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 23 October 2009
The Giger Bar is a bar themed and modeled by H. R. Giger, a Swiss surrealist painter, sculptor, and set designer who won a Visual Effects Academy Award for his design work on the film Alien. Built under Giger’s close personal supervision, the bar reflects his original concept of a representation of human bodies and machines in a cold, interconnected relationship described as “biomechanical.” The bar’s interior is themed and modeled by the artist to reflect the films he designed, most notably “Alien.” With the cavernous, skeletal structure covered by ...

Jurassic World Treasure
Blog: Tripalong - 24 August 2009
It’s a dream come true for every dinosaur-mad eight-year-old. And I have to confess that even at the grand old age of 30-something with two kids under my belt and the third en route, I too am excited. Call it the Jurassic adventure of my lifetime – to view herds of fossilized, dinosaur footprints found in Switzerland [...]

Been There, Done That, and Loved Every Single Minute of It-Part I, Europe
Blog: EZGuler - 15 August 2009
I would be a terrible host if I didn't offer my guests pieces that look and sound appealing, so I have decided, with the coaxing of my beloved JT, to abandon the "Top Ten" title for something with more...pizzaz! There must be other words to describe these compact, efficient lists without having to resort to the boring, age-old "Top Ten List" apendage. Plus, what if I want to offer more than just 10? So here I go, with photographic lists of places and events I feel are worth putting the effort and time into capturing while you are traveling.

Favorite Food From Traveling the World, So Far
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 19 June 2009
One of the best things about traveling is food. Dave and I seem to plan our days around our meals. We wake up in the morning and while we are eating our breakfast, we discuss what we are going to have and where we are going to go for dinner. We love food. Food makes us happy. And when we discover new and delicious food, well, we are in heaven.

The Swiss Alps Adventure
Blog: Two Guys Around The World - 14 June 2009
I just spent 2 days trekking through the Swiss Alps with William and Alison... and as always, we were ill prepared. William had found a cool trek online that would take us from one town to another through a pass in the mountains.

Switzerland
Blog: where the wild things are - 10 June 2009
Last night we left Amsterdam and took an 11hour night train to Basel, Switzerland. We arrived this morning at six, which was quite painful. Of course we got off at the wrong station and had to catch another train going to the other Basel station, (they are called Basel SBB and Basel BB. Ohhhhmygod.) and then it was another two hours and one train change to Interlaken. But its SO worth the hassle! Anyone who has been to the Jungfrau Region can understand why its easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen!
