After my week long hiatus to sunny Switzerland I’m back! First off a word about the Swiss transport system - WOW, everything runs on time, is amazingly clean and modern. You can literally set your watch by the trains/buses/trams which all have integrated timetables so you can usually step off one directly onto another. It puts all other transport systems I’ve ever used to shame!
Highlights of the trip included eating some rather tasty fondue and going up the amazing Jungfraujoch mountain as well as some nice walks round some small (and not so small) cities. If you’re looking for affordable accommodation in Switzerland I would have no hesitation recommending Pension Marthahus in Bern and Hotel Rugenpark in Interlaken, both of which provided clean and comfortable rooms as well as a decent breakfast (essential in my book)!
Here are a few of my favourite photos, you can find the rest in the gallery:

In less than two days time I’m off for a bit of a while-wind tour of Switzerland with Echo. We’ll be flying from Newcastle to Geneva on Saturday evening and then moving on from there to Bern (via Lausanne) on Sunday. On Monday we’ll travel down to Interlaken and hopefully go up the Jungfrau mountain on Tuesday! On Wednesday we’ll head back to Geneva for the day before flying back to England the same evening (phew!). It’ll make a nice change from the daily work grind which I’ve just about had enough of 
Hopefully I’ll be able to get some nice photos (weather permitting), but probably not as good as these.
I probably wont get a chance to update before next Friday, but watch this space…

The last couple of days have been fairly mundane (just finishing off stuff for my project) so this afternoon me and my (younger) brother decided to go out for a bike ride. We went down to the UEA which is pretty close to us and had a cycle round the grounds there. All pretty good fun
More cool viz:
- 10×10 - 100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time
- Google Maps - Now with Satellite image support, so very cool!
- Technorati Touchgraph - The integration of the Technorati API and the TouchGraph graphing system
- WordCount - Tracking the way we use language.

Spent a nice weekend in London with relatives. Luckily the weather held out and we went for a couple of pleasant walks as well as a brief cycle-ride. Took a load of photos but as usual were fairly mediocre. Here’s a montage of a few I like:

This week is going to be a bit hectic as I catch up with a million different things but onwards & upwards etc!
