Flashback: Colombia or Switzerland?

Yes, yes, I know you know: I am back in Switzerland. And looking at the picture below you might think that is all prove for it. And now, watch out, this is a Flashback thing. Believe it or not and not one... 

...that is going back all the way before I even set off to explore the Americas. This is not a Swiss Chalet, or actually it is a Swiss Chalet. But it is a Swiss Chalet in Colombia. The picture was taken exactly two years ago, on January 21, 2013 in Colombia. This is Hotel Sindamanoy at Laguna de la Cocha in Colombia. 

We were nearly the only off-season guests and to give them some little business we decided to take a room vs. camping in the parking lot. It was cold, rainy and windy, so the hotel night was a welcome change to the nights out camping. The staff was super friendly as usual in Colombia and super sweet on top of it. It was a cold rainy night, cold even in the cosy chalet room. At around 9pm the girl from the front desk was knocking at our room door and, without saying a word, just with a big smile, handed us two super hot hot-water-bottles.
