Switzerland - Zurich



We had a sleep in this morning as Erna and Bruno both had to go to work early and spent the morning catching up on life admin.
This afternoon, we were extremely fortunate that Bruno had arranged to take the afternoon off work and took us sightseeing. We travelled north to Rheinfall Neuhausen which is an amazing section of the Rhine River where the river cascades over a series of rocks forming a powerfall waterfall. In summer there averages 700 cubic meters per second of water through this section. It was very cool!
From here we visited a few other little towns which were very typically Swiss in their beautiful architecture and frescoed exterior walls. These included Schaffhausen, and Stein am Rhein. It was a great afternoon seeing some of the countryside that is much easier to find with a local!

    We've found the leak (rudder seal) and Michel knows what the electrical problem is, and he'll be here at two o'clock. Who knows we may be out of here in a week or two!

    cheers!
