      Day 52 - Orbe to Cossonay

      10 Jun 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      A good walk today through forest, farmland, and riverside (both l'Orbe and La Venoge). The day started with a little rain (it had rained overnight as well), but not enough for rain gear. It was around 30 km, about 5 km more than I expected. Sure, I did go the wrong way after a glass of Rose - but that would only have added 2 km at most. Some lovely Swiss people (Veronique, Katherine and François) asked me to join them for a drink around lunchtime, as I was walking on a forest path, and the new me said "yes, please!" We talked about the cost of living in our respective countries and the VF. They are lovely and we've already connected on WhatsApp! I'll get in touch when I'm back next year in April. P.S. the last photo is the view from my hotel tonight. P.S. I saw my first Swiss deer today, running across a field. That's 6 in total now.Baca lagi

      Day 53 - Cossonay to Lausanne

      11 Jun 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      The day started warm. Even at 5 a.m., I was quite comfortable sitting outside before the sun came up, with only my slides on and no jacket! I had a late start because it was Sunday (and breakfast is not served before 8 a.m.) and was grateful when the roadside walking, through farmland, changed to riverside walking (La Venoge). I got to Lake Geneva at 1:45 p.m. and got to walk almost 9 km along its shores. I don't know why, but I was surprised to see swans on the lake. I saw a terrific number of people today (the most I've seen this trip). There were loads of people all along the path today, walking, running, cycling - all getting out in nature on the weekend. Of course, being a beautiful, warm day (and the weekend), Lake Geneva was a big attraction. It was very hard to pick my photos today as I took so many. Note: My waymarkers are now a yellow diamond with a black border and are nowhere near as frequently as I would like. I have to refer to the app constantly! P.S. I look at those mountains and feel very intimidated. I weary today. P.S.S. the only downside was the SWARMS of midges or gnats that were all along the lake path!Baca lagi

      Day 54 - Lausanne to Vevey

      12 Jun 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Another warm sunny day and plenty of good walking. The day started with lakeside walking and evolved into 'above lake' walking through vineyards (white wine, I believe). I met heaps of people today: a lovely lady who has done the camino in Spain (she took the photo of me); a woman, originally from Canada, who's mum's came from Brisbane, and has lived in Switzerland since she was 15; and a really lovely couple from British Columbia, Kim and Crag (could be Craig, but pronounced "Crag"), who are dipping in and out of the VF. Again, it's very hard to select the photos as I have taken loads today, and there was so much beauty and so much to be in wonder of. I feel strong today. Yes, the mountains are intimidating, but after a pep talk from my daughter last night, I'm feeling strong and capable again. I'm tired, of course - walking all of today and most of yesterday on sealed surfaces has made my feet burn, but I'm not so sure now that the mountains will defeat me. Oh, and I had a small heart attack this afternoon as both of my credit cards were declined!!!!!! It appears that it was the machine at the hotel, as I was able to withdraw cash to pay, but I may have paid $156.00 up to 6 times - with all the failed attempts!!!! Oh, and I wasn't exaggerating about the midges/gnats, I managed to take a photo of a swarm as I set off this morning.Baca lagi

      Day 55 - Vevey to Aigle

      13 Jun 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      I've left the lake behind me now, but not the sealed surfaces! A good walk today, lakeside, lake adjacent, through a lot of beautiful countryside and ending in vineyards. I met up with Alison from the USA this morning. We met at Guines (Day 4). She was walking with Kim, who had to pull out due to an injury, went back to the USA herself (for her daughter's wedding), and has dropped back into the VF, with Paulette. We all expect to get to Grand Saint Bernard Pass on the 18th! The highlight of my day was a tour of Chateau Chillon (I've included a bad photo of Alison and Paula in the Chateau - we happened to meet there). There was quite a bit of rain this afternoon, which was great, as I got to test out my poncho - my front pockets are perfectly dry - success! Also, I got some climbing in this afternoon, of course in the rain, the legs are doing very well 👌. Note: There were a lot of lovely sculptures on the lake today - Freddy Mercury included.Baca lagi

      Suisse 🇨🇭

      16 Jun 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Bon bon bon… Pas de forfait en Suisse donc je fais le post des deux derniers jours ! ( tellement pas d’internet que Callista a eu 45€ d’hors forfait sans le faire exprès…) Donc on est arrivés hier midi à Genève et on ne s’est pas éternisés car c’était pas vraiment ce qui nous plaisait le plus d’être en ville, donc on s’est carapatés vers ailleurs en longeant le lac Leman, on est passés par Lausanne ( petite balade au bord du lac où on a vu des plages magnifiques) puis on a trouvé un tout petit camping perché au dessus de Lausanne mais complètement dans la campagne, entouré de forêts ! Et on a donc fait étape au camping du portillon pour la nuit ou la vue était à couper le souffle !
      Après une bonne nuit on a décidé d’aller visiter Bulle puis Gruyères sur les conseils de Lu et c’était vraiment super beau ( en plus c’est la ville ou le Gruyère est né !) on s’est donc arrêté dans un petit resto pour prendre un café, resto avec une vue incroyable ( tous les paysages sont vraiment fous en général ) même si j’ai payé le café le plus cher de toute ma vie ( 5€20) mais qui était servi avec une petite mousse sucrée au Gruyère donc ça va j’ai pas fait de scandale… Puis pour passer la nuit on est actuellement dans le camping de Chateau-d’Oex qui est complètement entouré de montagne avec une immense piscine ( puis comme c’est Juin le camping est vraiment pas rempli c’est très agréable ). Et donc on s’apprête à manger avant d’aller tester la night life Suisse ( vu l’endroit on s’attend pas à grand chose) ou au moins aller visiter de nuit la petite ville ! Bisous 😘      Baca lagi

      Wednesday afternoon

      5 Julai 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Weather improved this afternoon. After a beer at 4 pm, a steep climb with views over Lac Lac Leman.
      We were going to camp down low but stopped at 7 pm to camp. Hope to get a sunrise tomorrow morning.
      Lots of old bunkers and walls to stop tanks this afternoon.      Baca lagi

      Lake Leman

      8 Julai 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Well we have finished the first leg. Made it to Lake Leman about 4pm. Nice walk up to radar site and then very hot walk through to the lake.
      Claudia and Pierre-Yves very kindly picked us up. Had a lovely evening with them last night at their house in Fechy.
      Day off today and boat back to France tomorrow. 670km down and, hopefully, fit enough for the Alps. They certainly look intimidating.      Baca lagi

      Fechy

      10 Julai 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      We have had a lovely couple of days with Pierre-Yves and Claudia. They were incredibly kind. Evenings were a bit dangerous as Pierre-Yves is a very generous host.
      Hopefully we can return the favor soon.

      Über den Col de la Croix zur Hütte

      13 Ogos 2023, Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Heute früh habe ich mir erst Zeit genommen und ein Schwätzchen mit netten Leuten beim Frühstück genossen. Dann wollte ich eigentlich noch mit einer Seilbahn hoch, hab dann aber festgestellt, dass ich genau dort hoch radeln muss. 😎

      Es ging über den Col de la Croix, der es in sich hat! Aber sehr wenig Autos und so konnte ich mich gut konzentrieren. Lief sehr gut! Seht einfach die Fotos ..

      Ein spontaner Abstecher hat sich dann noch als gnadenloser single Trail entpuppt. 28% Steigung und riesige Steine haben mich doch zwischendurch zum absteigen gezwungen.

      Ich muss noch lobend erwähnen, dass die Beschilderung für Wanderer genau so wie für Radfahrer extrem, unglaublich gut ist. In den Anstiegen zeigen rote Schilder in % die Steigung an und wie lange diese ist. Keine Schlaglöcher, alles wie geleckt.

      Nun bin ich an der schönen Hütte in den Bergen. Ich war mir ja nicht sicher, ob ich hier für mich bin. Aber die Inhaber leben hier und vermieten ein Zimmer plus Bad. Ich kann alles nutzen, auch Küche.

      Sie habe einen total süßen Hund, der mich begrüßt hat, als kennen wir uns ewig. Neben dem Garten grasen 3 Kühe. Ich denke mir, hier werde ich mich wohlfühlen!

      Morgen mache ich am Mittag eine zweistündige Führung durch ein Salzbergwerk. Ansonsten keine Pläne, nur genießen.

      Ich drück euch.      Baca lagi

      Lausanne 16 miles

      22 Ogos 2023, Switzerland ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      Dreadful night. Hot, sticky, noisy, airless. Sometimes camping isn’t as much fun as you think it should be.

      Off sharp as I was due to meet a young lady later. Temperature lovely for walking until the sun came up.

      Then another hot one. Forecast is for another couple of hot days and then start to reduce. By Sunday it might be 14C cooler. Can’t wait!

      The signs have completely changed in Switzerland. No more of the French signs with their Via Francigena symbols or Red and White flashes for the GR145. Even worse is the loss of the red and white crosses to indicate the wrong way. Now I need to know the name of the next place I am going to and hope that the Swiss have decided to mark a route going there. They have nice big signs listing all sort of places. After that they have large yellow diamond symbols to indicate the way. Trouble is they show the way to something. You don’t know it is the way you want, you just know it is the way to somewhere. And if you do go off route there is just a slow realisation that you haven’t seen any signs for ages to give you a clue that things are not going well.

      Reached Lake Geneva. Looked lovely with the Alps on the far side. Long walk along the lakeside, feeling very hot and sticky, carrying that damn great bag, passing all the young things lying about, wearing not a lot and looking a whole lot more comfortable than I was feeling.

      Reached Lausanne and then started walking uphill to get to the hotel. Passed a chemist where I got the temperature confirmed. Because the footprints automatically show the temperature for the time and place that I post (usually after 10pm) it has been suggested that I have been exaggerating the heat. Believe me I can tell the difference between backpacking in 26C and 36C.

      This city must be about the hilliest I have ever been to. All up, down and then back up again. Managed (just) to get to the hotel, drop the bag off, quick shower, change of clothes and off to the train station to meet the gaffer. By the time we got back to the hotel, via a wee ice cream halt, I needed another shower and change.

      Basic, but pricey Vietnamese dinner to follow. One course and a bottle of water got rid of £70. Of course, paying for two doesn’t help.      Baca lagi
