We went to Switzerland for lunch one day. We were in Friedricksaven Germany for the Zeppelin Ride, I have told you about that haven't I? We took a ferry across Lake Konstance to Romanshorn Switzerland. It is a pleasant 40 minute ride each way, it was $17.10 per person round trip. We left the car in Germany, the registration staff at Mercedes really discouraged driving in Switzerland. We had a nice wander around, it was a Sunday, so most of the shops were closed. We went into a couple of nice churches and had lunch at this wonderful place with this spectacular view.
It was fun, add another country to the list of places visited. A couple more to add on this trip, Austria and Iceland.
That was just a lovely day! (Did I get my laundry done by then?)
ReplyDeleteWhy is driving in Switzerland discouraged by Mercedes staff?
ReplyDeleteA separate road tax that you have to pay for an entire year of, even if you are only there for the day (40-euros), incredibly strict traffic laws with very heavy fines that must be paid in cash, on the spot - or they haul you in, photo tickets that they will collect - if you try to avoid paying - they will catch you the next time you enter the country and you pay - or go to jail.

ReplyDeleteI want to see Switzerland having been trained in the Jungian school.
