On the Road Again

After being stranded in Switzerland for a couple of days we’ve finally been able to get on our way. We’re very glad and thankful to the people of this country who have helped us get going again, from the free supply of Swiss cheese to the mechanics who repaired our car. We’ve had to move between two towns now while the car was being fixed – Meiringen and Sachseln. These two towns have proven to be the most welcoming of places, and we’re glad we could take the time to appreciate the surrounding landscapes. A thanks goes to the mechanic Sven Zurmühle, and to the staff at Hotel Kreuz Sachseln and Baer in Meiringen. Along a little excursion while waiting for news about the car, we also met a very nice couple from Florida called Wilson and Joyce, who offered their support and wished us luck on our journey, so a shout out goes to them. We’ve also found ourselves quite impressed with Swiss cuisine, and although cheese is everywhere, there is more to it than that. Peter has developed a cheese addiction while Simon seems to have developed a phobia of the stuff. Between the two places we’ve managed to keep the spirit of adventure going and have been determined to get going as fast as possible towards Mongolia again. Thanks Switzerland, for getting us going on our way. Now, onward to Italy and further adventure…who knows where the car might break down next.
