... used my final day of my eurrail pass for this trip only to find that the trip from Visp station to the Zermatt was not valid despite being told by two train operators that it was. I also couldn't get through to the girl at the station that my eurrail pass allows me discounts for the train but she kept telling me, 'no, no, you can't use anymore days it's full'. Today wasn't the first time I have been stuffed around by the Swiss. It's hard to believe that Einstein was educated here.

... room, toilets and showers to myself. I rarely saw anyone and reception was really nice. I then headed to Cully to try the famous Lavaux walk but caught a train that didn't make all the stops so I ended up at Lausanne again. I decided to take a bit of a walk, making my way through Pully and then to Letvy where I caught the train to Cully. The view was great but the vineyards that I stumbled across in Letvey were better because there was noone around and you could really smell the wine.

... s purse being snatched as the train pulled away. It was kind of odd because the thief was well dressed with shopping bags and wearing expensive high heeled boots, which made me really despise her. It was almost funny watching this little old lady charge after this worried woman trying to run, if it had not made me feel so rotten inside to see it. When I arrived in Lausanne I was unapproachable, I did not want to see another human being.
I did see Geneva lake as I sat in the rain.

... the man ahead disappear into the cloud. After ten minutes my fingers were ready to drop off so I went back down. An expensive ride but at least I tried. The weather is supposed to be great tomorrow...hoping. That is why I gave this place three days. September and October still remain the best months to visit. However, later in the afternoon, the rain stopped and the clouds broke away so I went for a 1.15 hour hike down to the next township called Zweilutschinen. It was ...

... Bill said how elated he was with our surroundings, and I can’t disagree either. We were right up close to the three famous mountains of the region (Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger), Europe’s highest train station, and the place where 007 movie “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” was filmed. After gradually gaining 1000m in altitude, we found ourselves at the top of a very ...

... two lakes, the Brienz and the Thun. It has a beautiful azure green river running through the town joining the two lakes. It is quite a pretty town with lots of traditional Swiss houses next to very funky modern buildings. The main street has an amazing number of watch shops and I almost had to put Matt on a leash to stop him adding to his already impressive collection of Swiss watches. There is clearly some money splashed around in this town, as there are ...

... out what they are! Back to the camp site where we talked to 2 great couples who had just gone white water rafting that day. We would have LOVED to have gone as Switzerland would be the most amazing place to do adventure sport but we were quickly running out of money. Plus Switzerland must also be the best palce for just about anything! The next day we got up to watch the Jungfrau marathon - a 42km from interlaken with ...

Sorry I havent written anything for a while, but since camp has started we have been working long long days. Not much has happened, Helena and I had a day of yesterday and we rode our bikes to Sierre which is 15km from here and 1000m lower elevation than us... so I dont think I peddalade once until we hit the 1st stop light in Sierre:) I'll write more soon CP
