Well, I saw the German translation of this book. Sometime it is right, sometime it is wrong. The coverage of Switzerland is really poor and the best places are missed.

btw: I have 13% of the places in the book allready done.

Good guide to have if you are planning interesting vacations. I wish I had the $$ to do them all.

I’ve hit 42/1000. That leaves 958 more things to see!

Too many hotels I cannot afford to stay in. Still a wonderful travel book.

I’ve been skipping around a lot in this book, because I want to be everywhere at once. This is incredible. I have a partial list of places to go before I die that I’ve been working on myself, but this gives me more to think about, and specifics, and suggestions I would not have thought of. My favorite so far, which I am reserving for my 2005 (hopefully) UK tour: the Scotland Castle Tour combined with the single-malt Scotch Whisky Tour.
