Next morning it was a repeat. Driven to the station by 8 am, we were soon heading for Lake Constance. When we descended from the train at Konstanz we were flabbergasted to find we were in Germany.

+ | That night I met the host's daughters who came around to see me. The four of them remember only one thing, and that was how I always smelt the cheese that was offered. It seemed that this was fixed in their minds by the fear of my beard touching the cheese. That was in 1956. | ||

The following day we were taken around the various cheese factories, yoghurt farms and fruit canneries. All interesting but no samples. This was our last day of the Swiss Pass, and we had to leave for Zurich and make for a little village tucked up in the hills, with the intention of staying with a couple that we had met in Greece. We arrived at the station and walked the mile or so up the hill, with my mother in tow. By this stage she was getting stronger and stronger, contrary to what she may tell anyone. | The following day we were taken around the various cheese factories, yoghurt farms and fruit canneries.

- | And. so finished our Swiss Holiday. We stayed two more days and spent them eating, listening to the hi-fl, and swimming in the basement pool which is heated to 31 deg celsius 365 days of the year. Push a button and jets would pump out a current so you could swim against it and get nowhere fast. Such luxury and it was what we deserved. We were driven to the airport 5O miles away and they got rid of us for in one hour we wore in Munich. | + | |

+ | To conclude, I wish to emphasis that with such a rail pass (15 days cost $70) one can travel and see everything.
