I’ve been chastised for not filling in the rest of the Journey – but I wasn’t sure how much roaming data I had left and then Holidays kicked in and I wouldn’t have been too popular blogging on my family holiday. So here’s some more of Friday.
After cruising down the German Autobahn as already blogged in "Two Dead Already” we cut back into France travelling towards Strasburg and then Bern along the French ‘A’ roads. A nice drive through beautiful countryside. We crossed into Switzerland where I very polite man tried to charge us €35 for use of motorways until we told him we weren’t going to use them.
We then got lost firstly in Bern and then in Switzerland in general. For a country that’s supposed to be civilised they have worse road signage then even Ireland. All the roads seem to have the same number. Martin got hungry (and so ratty) and the rain poured down flooding the road and me through our leaking roof.
Eventually we got on the motorway (no paying) for the last 20 miles or so to Thun where we checked in, drank beer and relaxed. Some people arrived much later. Hat’s off the the South African car who refused to pay the toll and then just drove all the way on the Motorway.
