Halfway - Katherine's post


From the first destination in Switzerland, Basle, we changed the meeting places. What is the most reliably signed place in any Swiss village/town /city? …..it’s the railway station.  So for this last full day to Schaffhausen our parting arrangement was “see you at the station”, and it worked splendidly. The added bonus is that there is always a cafĂ© near and on this very hot day that was something of a necessity, even for me let alone Richard.



Switzerland feels like a comfort zone, the Migros  or the Co-op open all day  so no worry about supplies of bananas, Kit- Kats  etc.; no always arriving at the next French town  just when they’re closing for lunch  ( I was gobsmacked,  it even happened in a huge Super U!) and then we are always so close to home.

So now we look forward to August and September when we’re off again to finish the last 2,000 kms. I’ve worked out what needs changing in our equipment, what would make life easier for the logistics but it would be a sad thing if nothing was left open for a few surprises.
