thanks, I feel better now. Great trip report and pics.

What ! a menu with no RED !!! Errrrrr

Nice job, gives one the urge to go.

Well...... I'm leaving first week of April, so I guess the trip over (Hong Kong to Zurich) isn't going to be that flash sleeping wise. The return trip will be the one I'll be looking forward to. The new 777 according to my booking. Thanks for the insight time_flies, good read. Looking forward to...

Thanks MEL_TRAVELLER, No, I'm not returning to Zurich. After Copenhagen heading to London. Was going to do Zurich, Copenhagen, London by air and then train to Amsterdam and head South from there. The only reason I changed was that after checking the KLM flight stopped at Amsterdam. There are...

Hi all, Im traveling to Zurich in April, and because of a change of plans we have decided to spend a few days in Copenhagen and then Amsterdam. Searching for flights, I noticed on Expedia flight search that KLM fly from Zurich to Copenhagen via Amsterdam (trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone)...

Thanks time_flies, Love to hear your thought on the plane and the service. Had a slight time change on my return flight (was advised by the agent) and it seems like I got the new 777 Zurich to Hong kong. I'll let you know what its like.

Fantastic trip, great pictures and a very enjoyable read. Travel safe and enjoy.

Thanks for the feed back, I have a 28 Degree card and I guess it might be better to stick to it for now. The Amex was just to pick up the points (the promotion) and use for hotel and airfares while over there. I always take a component of cash and cards and shopping is of no interest to me. What...

Hi all, I've been looking at the Amex Premium Qantas Card for an upcoming european trip. 80,000 Qantas point after an initial spend plus another potential 2,500. Without reading all the fine print is this card an all right bet ! I value Qantas point at around 3 cents each based on a business...

I would recommend that you pick a small central town on the regional rail network. That way you'll get the feel of real Tuscan life and not have to combat the thousands of tourists in the bigger towns. From there you can do day or over nighters to towns like, Sienna, Lucca, Pisa, Florence...

Love the report, looking forward to reading more.

If my brain serves me well, I remember something like 34 pubs in the Kalgoorlie / Boulder general area (including the Ora Banda Pub North of town, with an infamous past), and you had 6 hours to do the pub crawl. Think about 34 glasses in 6 hours !!! Covering Hannan Street and then Boulder, you...

Lived there on and off for 2 years some time back and have to say never had a problem with the food. In general the "better" pubs served very good and well presented meals. In fact I think I even remember ordering Stingray at a pub on the North side of Hannan Street (can't remember the name)...

San Sebastian is a must, There is so much to see and eat (and if you like, try the local canned sardines all hand prepared. I paid 40 Euro a can) that you won't believe your eyes. Be sure to go to the old town, the market, the whiskey bar, a cider house and a stroll along the beach front. I...

Great report and the pics are fantastic. One of my favourite countries. Next time jump over to the Italian side of the Alps, and try Lugano and Locarno, they say it's the "Swiss Mediterranean" kind of tropical, Palm trees etc. Very pretty towns, both on lakes (standard) and I suggest its worth...

If you paid using your Credit Card do you thing you can get FF points ?

Great report, where do you find the time to post ! It's an amazing part of Europe, the Alps, Lakes and towns. Enjoy. Your the envy of many.

Thanks for the feed back, its all worth taking in, and yes I'm sure their new 777 will be on the ZRH to HGK return run. Looking forward to that. But I reckon that I'll be in the old wagon on the way there. As long as it arrives safe what else do you want. I'm on the CX flight from Melbourne to...

Hi all, has anyone enjoyed Swiss J class lately ? I'm traveling to Zurich via HGK April 2016, and I was curious about their service. Has anyone done the Hong Kong to Zurich and return legs ? In anticipation, all feed back much appreciated.
