Due to all sorts of meteorological factors we enjoyed, and apparently will continue to enjoy for a day or two, a truly fantastic weekend. Although resisting the temptation to flee to the mountains and join in the madding throngs of those queueing for a view, a bite to eat, a bit of elbow room in a cable car etc. etc. we did decide to go a bit farther afield than our own village.
Off we went to Glarus. In my opinion a somewhat underestimated neck of the tourist woods Glarus is the ‘county town’ of canton Glarus. Well that’s enough geography for now. Suffice to say we had the town to ourselves, we suffered no traffic jams and didn’t even have to wait for a coffee and a delicious speciality pastry type thing.
The first picture is of ‘Zaunplatz’, the place where the locals still gather once a year to exercise their democratic rights by voting on all sorts of things by a show of hands. (perhaps a little over simplified, but I didn’t wish to bore the reader too much)
