Well they finally made. I don't think anyone, including themselves, believed my parents would ever venture to Europe but they did it (Thanks to some very persuasive encouragement from Pascal, Michelle and I.)!

With me acting as the chaffeur and chaperone Our journey took in three countries, Switzerland, Spain and France in 8 days, during which we clocked over 3,500 kms in the car as well as another 500 on foot, or so it seemed. Needless to say my parents, who are not getting any younger were somewhat glad to get back to Switzerland and relax for a couple of days before flying back home.

It was great to have my parents if only for a short time and I look forward to seeing them real soon. Until then I have to make to with the memories of our colourful adventure, which I will share with everyone very soon (I promise).
