Last day in Switzerland and Europe
... the item was sold :( Gutted!
We decided it wouldn't be very touristy of us if we didn't try fondue, so Jude shouted us for lunch. Betsy was out after a few mouthfuls, and I wasn't too far behind. The overpowering taste of the wine was too much for me. Al and Jude soldiered on!
Betsy and Jude did a bit of ...
A day trip to Evian and Betsy gets her watch!

As we get close to Gruyeres we note police on successive roundabouts and as we ...
Ready to move on again
... just us blow ins but everybody. It’s a bit disconcerting at times. We suppose it is just part of the French culture. Back in the flat now, most things packed ready for tomorrow. Just a light dinner of anything that is left in the fridge to eat or drink and then one more sleep to our next port of call.
We have had to rely on Ron for everything as there are no transport links from the village, ...
