One week of Monteverdi!

Spring has sprung, at least during the past few days I've spent in the choir-camp of our school. It was such a blast! On one hand we had to practise our Monteverdi for nine hours a day which was a pain sometimes, especially for voice and back, on the other hand we also had quite some free time which we spent outside playing Frisbee, lying on the grass on the lakeside or jammin' on one of the many pianos which were just standing around in the house :)

One really early morning I went up the hill to capture the sunrise with my drone, the lighting was so lovely!

In the late evenings we often sat at the lake singing songs and enjoying the first warm nights in this year!

On Thursday, the day we went back home, me and two friends decided to take the boat back to Biel because we all have a GA (a card with which you can literally travel around in the entirety of Swiss trains, buses and boats). It was a great idea because the boat trip and the view on the lake and mountains were amazing :D

In Biel we wandered around for a bit and then sat down at the river eating some chocolate.

Oh and just a funny picture of a guy who was sleeping with the jacket over his head on our trip home ^^

Today I had another band practise for our concert next week on Thursday (which by the way I'm gonna film and share ;) and now I'm off to cook in another camp with some of my friends in Jura, the north-west of Switzerland. I'm sure I'll have lots to tell you and some cool pictures next post!

Monet

My mum and I meant to catch an early train, but we always delayed getting on the bus, since we were redecorating my room.

Then, with some nice lunch from the Organic Shop at our railway station, we took the train to Basel, to go to the new Monet exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler. It was a beautiful collection of some of Monets nicest paintings, and we had some great discussions about lots of them! Later on, after watching the rest of the other exhibitions we drank a cup of tea in a little coffee shop and went on our way home.

But I got off the train a little earlier because I was going to meet up with a good friend of mine to build a computer together. It was really fun and interesting since we recycled some parts and even installed Mac OsX on it!

Milano

Yesterday morning I took an early train to Milano to see an old friend of mine from my exchange time in England.
It was so nice to meet her again and we had a great time together :)
After I arrived we went straight to Eataly, which is a giant slowfood store chain, to eat something. Obviously it was pizza (which wasn't my idea ..) I really enjoyed it though!

There was also a Photography exhibition of wildlife photographers. Since we both love photography, we went to this exhibition. It was really cool and there were many great pictures!

Later on we walked to the castle. It's a very pretty place! There was a vintage-car show taking place in the patio, which we didn't know of. But we've enjoyed it a lot!

Unfortunately I had to take the train again at six thirty, but it was a great and fun trip :)
