Travel day began frantically as we were racing around to clean up all our clothes from the washing the night before and repack our bags for the long voyage into the south of France. Eventually we were all boarded on the bus and were introduced to our guide for this leg, Timothy. He then introduced us to our driver Gordon or as he refered to him, Flash Gordon. Aparantly Timothy is a nature nazi meaning that he wouldn't put on any entertainment for us until we lo...

We had breakfast and then made some phone calls home as the "swisscom'' phonebooths were quite cheap. Afterwards we hung around and did 2 loads of washing which seemed to take forever.

After walking the 10 minutes to the train station we found out that it was going to cost us 40 Swiss Francs to get a return train to a station that is...

We awoke all excited this morning about Rafting in a glacial river. First things first though as we headed to the local co-op supermarket to buy some groceries to keep our costs down. We also managed to find a Switzerland backpack for around 25 Euro. This will come in handy. So we headed back to the caravan for ham cheese and tomato sandwichs with German style "english bread". For those of you who havent tried this it is like stale bread and very cake l...
