Rasta Farewell Tour Part I - King of the mountains in Switzerland 4K

My dear Swissies and Switzerland lovers, I promised Rasta that I would take him on a kind of a farewell tour. On this tour, we will visit the places that meant a lot to us and where we were simply happy. These were usually places where Rasta could run around freely and where you could see in his face that he was happiest there. I'm taking you along on this tour of course it will be emotional at times but it helps me and perhaps you too to experience a form of a farewell that is no longer completely marked by tears and sad emotions. You will understand why I choose these places when you see them. Rasta loved it there more than anything else. My Swissies and Switzerland lovers, we are on our farewell tour for Rasta. We will visit his favorite places and this was one of them. We are right now at Grimselpass and we have four degrees and some fog and it's cold and windy and that's exactly that kind of weather Rasta loved. So let's go to one of his favorite little lakes, okay? I don't know if you believe in things like this but Rasta's spirit is with us. We know that for 100 percent. I don't want to tell you the details because otherwise you would say I'm going crazy but he is here. Yeah, you can believe me. Rasta loved this place because this place has streams, it has stones and yeah there are lakes when you walk a little bit behind and yeah especially in the morning. We loved to go up here yeah especially in summer because it was so hot in the valleys and up here it is yeah quite cool. We wanted to go to these lakes with Rasta this year but we had to return in the half because he was not able to walk that long anymore. If Rasta would be here physically he would be already here but always stopping and looking back if I'm coming yeah Rasta wanted to go in every little lake here So this was one of his happy places. He so loved to walk around everywhere yeah and just check if the water is good enough to go in and yeah he so loved it up here. So Rasta is with us somehow but to be honest he's not here. He's here but not physically. He's here with his spirit. I mean we cried a lot the last week you know from Monday to Friday yeah crying and thinking of him and missing him and still missing him of course but then on Friday I mean we got some signs from Rasta. So if you believe in something like this you can. You really can and if you miss Rasta very much just think of him yeah and if you walk somewhere he walked think of him and he will be at your side sure you can you can believe me and if not it's not a problem it's okay and I know it you know and so he's this is just um you know the I don't know the word right now and he's you know humans and animals we are energy and I believe that energy doesn't die energy transform itself in something else that's what I believe so don't be sad he's everywhere we are going on one of his favorite hikes. To do this we are driving to Grindelwald but as you know Rasta was not a city dog so we are going up to a place where he could run around to his heart's yeah he's with us. A friend of mine told me that she couldn't do this so like a farewell tour to go in places um yeah where we have been with Rasta and but you know it's um I mean it's kind of therapy and we know that he is with us all the time yeah yeah it's good it's good to do that you know. My partner also accompanies me um on a few trips yeah now it's weekend he don't have to work but during the week I have to do the trips by myself yeah I was always a person who I I went into my feelings yeah since I can think yeah because um so sad it is and so sad I am and so much I've cried um the more I go in the faster I'm out again I don't know if it's working for everyone but it is working for me on this hike Rasta was always so energetic yeah he ran up and down and up and down yeah I can see him clearly. Rasta will be nine years old in January next year this is already a very proud age for the dog so in human years he will be already 70. You don't see it in his face do you? I think that exactly such hikes keep him fit and although he is actually an older dog he has kept his waggishness we should all do that you maybe say oh what's that kind of weather that's not mine for Rasta it didn't matter what kind of weather it was if it was raining or there was fog or no sight or with sight or he was just happy to be outside because he knew that he can get some energy from nature yeah now think about it when Rasta's body was fit he used to chase the pine cones yeah we just throw and then sometimes he had four pine cones in his mouth yeah crazy boy so beside Rasta's memories um the post car or post auto is running up every hour yeah but check on the website of Grindelwald Bus if it's really running and the hike down takes about two hours yeah you don't trust me I see that I see that in your eyes and even though we are sad because Rasta is not with us anymore we still focus on the good that's the thing we always wrote and said the last few months or years there is always something good around you but you have to focus on it I told you maybe in an older video that these trees are maple trees and they all turn in the kind of golden color in autumn yeah I miss it every year I try to to capture it this year okay wow look at this in the sky that's quite special isn't it huh I told you huh yeah even in sad moments there's always something beautiful around just open your eyes yeah you need to practice this I know that but once you have it yeah it can save your life or at least your mood what I think that the first part of this trip um yeah was for Rasta and now he ordered some moods for me thank you Rasta you're still the best I have a question for you and I hope you will write me a comment with your answer um I was so surprised to get so many messages from all over the world from people who were crying about the passing of Rasta and it just makes me wonder how he inspired you why why are you sad that he isn't here anymore what what did he left for you you know what I mean that's the question for you I have and I would love to read your comments someone wrote on one of my social media channels that Rasta um had a life in paradise and is now in heaven and I so hope that heaven is more beautiful than this because this is hard to top right oh that was one of Rasta's favorite corners and of course one of my favorite corners I so love it I can see him yeah running down the street yeah of course we miss him yeah so now that was another part of our farewell tour for Rasta and uh yeah let's let's check out the next place yes we are in Lauterbrunnen right now yeah Rasta loves to be here not in the village itself he loved to run outside the village yeah and so I do a hike we used to do when we both were very fit as tootenshoes yeah so I will go up to Wengen yeah we only wanted to make a short round about an hour yeah we went up on this path and we had a good time up here that was our corner oh we had so many wonderful moments here with running Rasta happy place yeah totally happy place what a perfect trip for Lauterbrunnen cool huh this is this is hard to describe again man there are no words for this no words happy dog huh yeah to jump into this creek yeah but not the last years yeah he became older and he couldn't come out again yeah going in wasn't a problem but coming out and he just barked and barked and barked I hiked further up to clear my head and make room for new thoughts then I found this little cottage which was apparently a favorite place of a well-known poet throughout the entire hike one thought kept coming back to me again and again a hole filled with love should be filled with love again I wrote this sentence in this little book huh yeah because somehow I'm not alone I look at you yeah but that was not Rasta's playground we have to go up more so if that hike through the forest would be probably too steep for you yeah you go on the train in Lauterbrunnen and you jump off Wengwald over there and then you continue with the hike I do now here we are yeah back to the beauty and then mother nature is showing up and then I know everything is okay yeah that's the magic what happens when you go hiking yeah I mean there is a time to be sad and to stay at home and to cry yeah after a loss but then you need to go out and to fill up your storage of energy yeah and for me the best thing I can do is going out into nature yeah some of the lovely cows from my last visit here I know he would love to be here hey ladies do you remember me huh I think it was the this one in in the middle cuddling with me nice to see you again but not in cuddling mood huh that's okay and please remember Rasta is in every whisper of the wind in every flower in every waterfall in every mountain in every cloud yeah because this was his kingdom yeah yeah for me that's the hardest part yeah he so loved to run around here in the fields of dandelions yeah and so we have a break here yeah I was so good in not crying but if you think about me don't be sad talk about me and be brave enough to laugh let me some space between you the same space as I had in life oh yeah someone told me that he couldn't do it so to go to the places where you have been with your dog um he had to say goodbye but you know I am I am an emotional person I I let out all the feelings I have when I'm sad I cry when I'm happy I laugh um when I think I'm maybe calm yeah so I you know I need this to go on I know that everyone is different with um uh with grieving um yeah and I am like this so that's why I do all this you know because then I can go on and I can let out again positive emotions and not only the negative and uh yeah for me it's totally healing you know I mean it hurts to be here without him yeah really really really but um yeah I have to do it yeah and you I know you understand it it's for him it's for me it's for us one day another puppy will run around here for sure yeah I have too much love to give yes one day and because Rasta made so many people happy all the time I will always include something from him in the videos okay so then he's still with us and we do not forget him no
