Walter Schaerer posted a blog postRoundtrip in Italy's Southern Puglia Region
Puglia seems to develop more and more into a trend destination among European travellers. During our two-week Puglia roundtrip we stayed at wonderful country houses (Masseria Cimino, Masseria Le Fabriche, Masseria Fumarola) and stylish hotels (La Sommità Relais, Acaya Golf Resort, Histó Relais). On our way in-between we also visited Borgo Egnazia Resort and Masseria Bagnara. What…See More

If you're heading tu Zurich don't miss the new thermal spa (German blog with photos) in the former Huerlimann brewery building. The thermal spa spreads over several floors and the final highlight is a rooftop bath with a spectacular view over Zurich.

Jason Demant said… Hi Walter,
Thanks for the note! Very cool site by the way.
I run Unanchor.com. So, the content I create and have access to are self-guided tour itineraries. I've written a couple itineraries myself and have access to others. I've attached an example itinerary for you to take a look.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Jason

- Hi Keith
I spent all Sunday trying to figure out the Featured Content Gallery. Since it wouldn't work I also tried Dynamic Content Gallery but neither panned out properly. I managed to feature the banner in the header of the German version but the English one would stay empty.
At some point I found that both gallery tools interfere with some other plugins that I use. Most probably the language switcher.
Too bad, so sad...
Cheers,
Walter

Good luck!
