Llamas? I thought I was in Peru for a minute there. Guess there's lots in Switerland I've yet to see! Thanks Elisabeth | tini58de Tue Apr 8, 2003 21:44 UTC
The llamas are cute, but not necessarily typical, whereas Ballenberg definitely is a must see activity!!! I enjoyed it tremendously! | globetrott Mon Jan 13, 2003 01:23 UTC
