... true Swiss style, you changed trains on the same platform and everything went like clockwork. The Swiss really know how to organise everything. All stations are announced in plenty of time and in at least 4 languages. Everything in Switzerland is also very clean, we even saw a guy polishing the rubbish bins at a train station. I just wish they had a major anti-smoking campaign.<br><br>We arrived in Interlaken to fairly fine weather and ...

... point in Europe (supposedly), covered in snow was direclty infront of us. I have taken photos, but in all honesty, they do not come close to doing it justice. We found a trail leading up to a waterfall, spouting from the side of a cliff face. We hiked up and Tom and I both quickley realised we were way out of our fitness element. Walking with backpacks for ages, fine. Walking up a hill, forget about it. But we made it up and it was well worth it. Even just that little bit higher up and ...

... com is tricky, but possible, to get a discounted ticket if you can get the right destination. Two tips: there is a list of destination stations a mile long, be sure you know which station you want to get off at. Second, my VISA card wouldn't work (it is a good card), but, my Mastercard worked. So, patience will provide benefits!<br>I<br><br>

... conditioning makes it even worse. I've been sweating for weeks now, and it isn't likely to get better given that I'm heading down to Southern Spain and Morocco where it's in the high 30s. At least I'm not in Kuwait today where it is forecast to be 50 degrees. CNN news has given me the update on the situation with Lebanon, and I feel for the Lebanese people... I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there back in 2000. A difficult situation for both countries. I hope ...

... wonderfully romantic! We of course went on a Gondola ride while being serenaded by our guide on the boat. I also blew my wad on a piece of art (I had been doing so well with my money up until this point). I knew that I wanted to buy some artwork from a local artist on the streets of Venice, so I do not feel too terrible about it-plus...it is beautiful! I love Italy and want to return and learn the language. I have learned a lot just being here a few ...

Hello all, Well as per usual I am in the same internet cafe in Interlaken to update you on my progress and as usual despite trying to get a different PC I always get the one with the caps lock that will not switch off!!! highly annoying I am sure you can imagine. Well after our last chat I spent the rest of the day wandering around Zurich and what a great place it was, lots of cool buildings and some good shops, I resisted all temptation to go ...

... by the omnipotent presence of nature. We walked around casually for over an hour. It slowly got dark as we explored. And they were talking but I wasn't really paying attention. I was immersed in the scenery, the fresh air, the isolation, the placidity of it all. I heard my name being called. "Chet? You there?" "Sorry." "You've been quieter than I've ever seen you. What the hell have you been thinking about for the past hour?" someone asked. "I was thinking what it would be ...
