Switzerland




After leaving T.O at 12:00am, arriving 8 hours later in Frankfurt and driving for another 5 hours down to Switzerland we finally arrived at our place in the middle of the night, a traditional Swiss Chalet about 1000m up from the highway. After a few steins, 2 Euros for a 6pack; something that will outdoubtably contribute to me developing liver failure, I finally passed out. I woke up to an amazing view of the surrounding Alps and valleys below and spent the day hiking around on the ample trails available.

I also had the chance to witness probably the greatest feat of German engineering...a rotating self cleaning toilet seat, although I still have to get used to the idea of paying a buck to use the washroom.

Still no tequila

Decided for one last bar night in Barrie with some friends from Horseshoe Friday night, it started out with dinner at Jack Astors in the world famous Elvis booth (littered with Elvis merchandise) and a couple of beers, soon to be followed by a couple more beers and several shots, its never just one for some reason. Although I had to turn down the offered tequila shots due a previous rough engagement with the terrible stuff....

Packing...

Trying to fit a years worth of stuff into a few suitcases is a bit more challenging than i expected, considering I pack a massive suitcase for a weekend.
