pointe a la bise, geneva

murton harbour

Another lovely start to a zurich day sipping tea watching the life on the lake. Ready to go about 9ish we were left reeling by the cost of our two nights! The price of three or even four anywhere else and
we had to buy jetons for the shower and pay 5 ch. francs for wifi. Costly that view of the lake!
Southwards to geneva past bern, stopping at a lakeside town called murten on a lake of the same name? A sarnie lunch, a wander along the bank and on past lausanne to pointe a la bise, a few kilometres from geneva centre on the lakeside...again!

A very helpful guy in reception (there have been such on this trip!) told me there was a group in so he hoped the pitch he picked for us was free! Dutch this time! What is it with these campers who travel mobhanded? Safety in numbers? Massive discounts? They have a notice board with a flag planted next to it but as it is all in dutch I can't understand it. A sneaky photo for jose to translate? :)

Lou has disappeared with the computer while I scribble this down to upload later and is probably playing scrabble. Me? A little snooze in the sun and then off to gill's for dinner and to meet up with lou's swiss/french arm of the family!
