Today Hans, Ron and I went into town to sort out our land adventures while here and Italy and got the most helpful Swissrail guy who spent ages with us sorting out the options and the cheapest way to do it. End result is that for the month that we are here and in Italy, trains from Zurich to Milan then on to Florence and Milan to Zurich on the return, plus the half price card, 6 all transport full day anywhere anyway (train, bus, boat) and daily passes around Zurich all for $1000 for two of us. Plan so far is day trip to St Moritz and then onto the Bernina Express which looks a bit like the Rocky Mountaineer but in the alps. Maybe a day trip to Montreux or Geneva and Hans wants to take us up into the alps proper to really scare me knowing my absolute hatred of heights. LOL
After the rail ticket marathon I decided to look at some old things and buildings as well LOL. Hans and Ron ganging up on me in downtown Zurich.
Not sure what the attraction was with this carving but it caught our attention, obviously someone with a good eye for detail LOL.
Hans and Roli head off on their cruise tomorrow so look out Zurich we are on the loose.

Apart from all the other mayhem, I can tell you that China also fears you. They know you are a national security threat and ban any access to your subversive writings (along with anybody else on BlogSpot). Like manty other websites it is banned and blocked in that fine land. I am back in the relative civilisation of Hong Kong now and have just caught up. You will be happy to know that the day we left Phuket they had 3 1/2 inches of rain after 4pm when we flew out. The next day they had a measley 11 inches in 24 hours. In four days there was more rain than Melbourne's annual rainfall. You didn't happen to drop in with your weather effects did you?
well does talking about you do this as well ? if it does then I am guilty as Hans and I were talking about you and Thailand and China also got a mention so Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe my powers are growing. I wonder if I can get rain on Mars ? might give it a whirl. LOL LOL LOL
Hope China went well and I expect that Jenny enjoyed it as well.
China, as always, an "interesting" place to visit, but one of the last places in the world you would choose to stay. Jenny loved the experience, but also now will appreciate Australia more. That's despite Shenzhen and Guangzhou being very modern and civilised compared to much of the country. The dog and cat carcasses outside the restaurants, the bags of live toads for sale, the smells, the people who fall off their pushbikes when they are so shocked to see a caucasian in some of the places we went. Its all good.
