Sat. 5/11. 8.48pm

Hi all. Sitting here watching bbc world news with a cold beer"Hell. quollfrisch", an appenzeller original!
Drive from Lucern to Zurich was wet, but still exciting because I'm driving VW Passat wagon diesel!
very fun to drive.  Lots of cool stuff. I want one. Has its own GPS, an upgrade cuz they didn't have the one we ordered-:). Turned in car 9am, shuttle to hotel Movivpick, check in with comped wine, shuttle bk to flugenhof, train to dn town Zurich and walking tour the city. Very cool.  The Swiss have got their shit together!  They do a pretty lousy breakfast, however.  Coffee?  One little cup,no refills. No bacon, no taters, but good bread.  Water?  One little glass, no refill! Lunch today in Zurich?  $100 for three.
Excellent food-Italian, but 50 cl of Heiniken-$7  but hey, we're on holiday?  Shut up and deal!
The roads are fantastic, great signage, lots of bycyclers of all ages,  Friday was a holiday, so a lot of bikers were out in the mts. Doing the twistys.  all shapes and sizes. great roads in such great shape!
Tomorrow may train back to Zurich in am. We meet with the cruise group at 3 pm then onto and up the Rhine.  Looking forward to resting and not having to pay for every meal-:). And the weather has no rain in the future.  Later. Miss u all (kinda). -)
