We traveled the length of Switzerland in less than 4 hours, amazing. Highway 1 seems to be the main highway that runs the distance. We had a few jogs into the countrynside recommended by Olga, which is our European Charlotte. To avoid traffic areas , got to see lots of corn, cows and quaint villages, nice scenic views.
Arrived outside Zurich a little after lunch and went to PSI, similar place to Fermi Lab in Chicago . Meet with sylvan and kirk was in hog heaven, so many gadgets that I thought we would never get out of there. I was even impressed. Fun place, Kirk could stay forever but I was getting hungry and it was after 5 and everyone at ere was leaving.
We found our little village called Villigen with the bed and breakfast on the main road. Decided to have dinner there, oops, another mistake. Chicken and vienersnitzel for a meer $130 dinner, omg! We have to get serious about this food, need to find a grocery store and stock up when we get back to Ferney Voltair, food could really be more expensive than the hotels.
The room at Hirschen was nice and clean like all things in Switzerland. We had two windows , which one over looked the main road through town, we were on the second floor, and it was very hot, so when you opened window and curtain for a breeze the whole world coming into town could see you. So Kirk was flashing the town of Villigen every time he walked across the room. I stayed in bed. The other window you could climb out and be on someones patio, not sure if it was ours or the neighbors, of yes and one wall was lime green, seems to be a trend with our hotels.
We did not even need a alarm clock, the traffic got us up rather early the next morning.
Now we are on our way to the top of the world! No not Napal but Grendelwald spelling might not be right. We are taking the very scenic route through the Alps back to Geneve. If it is clear we will see the Matterhorn. We will send pictures when we get there, it may be of fogg, but we can make believe.
