Back to the land of cuckoo clocks

After breakfast we are collected by our taxi
which initially appears to small for the 6 of us and our luggage but with a little bit of Austrian ingenuity we manage to squeeze ourselves in.
We drive to Feldkirch and we are separated from our travelling companions of the last 8 days, accompanied by much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Our train takes us to Zurich where we alight and then drag our luggage up the 14km track to our hotel.
We decide to explore the town this afternoon but due to a slight navigation error we walk the wrong way along the river and discover the Zurich swimming area and unfortunately are forced to look at the scantily clad nubile bodies of young Zurichwegians.


Eventually we find our way back into town, though we are much traumatised by what we saw( at least 50% of our group anyway).




Interesting! Some sort of vegetarian restaurant maybe?

Tonight we dine at an upmarket pub which sells sausage by the metre.

Getting in touch with Satan

Image
Having found ourselves sedentary for too long and not wishing to lose our incredible svelte body shapes we strap on our walking boots once again and head towards the Devil's Punchbowl(DP). for a morning's perambulation. Parking is an issue in the Uk, it is either non-existent or costs 10 pounds an hour(+VAT); the latter proves to be the case at the National Front carpark at the DP. Anyway the walk turns out to be a jolly affair with some rather wonderful views of the Surrey countryside. We join Claire and Suzannah Mary for lunch and afternoon tea and then we are booked in for a tour of the Hogsback brewery-an enlightening visit with copious free samples of their fine brew. We meet the young folk for dinner at a local public house.

Arriving in the Old Dart

Image
An early start and a tearful farewell to Louie and Helga.Smooth check-in and breakfast at Tulla. We have a 9 hour stopover in Singapore so after questioning the customs officer about the best chicken rice we make our way to Sing Ho and are not disappointed. We also visit the giant greenhouse at Gardens by the Bay. Following a drug induced sleep we arrive unscathed at Heathrow; finding the courtesy bus to Avis proved a challenge with obscure signage. We arrive safe and sound in Guildford at our Airbnb where we meet our scatterbrained hostess and then are reunited with the heavily pregnant Claire. We wander into Guildford and am pleasantly surprised that English ale is as delicious as ever; then an afternoon nap and out for dinner, with Claire and Eric, and more beer at the Onslow Arms.

An easier day-Bezau to Mellau

Image
Following our usual substantial breakfast we are back on the trail again to our next destination, Mellau. I am lucky enough to have a look at the local version of puffing billy and then it is usual over hill and dale and even a section where we are expected to take off our boots and walk barefoot through a rural meadow-expectations do not always match with reality. We stop along the way for stunning views of the Arlberg and then a long descent into Mellau and our next lodging.
