to Switzerland for the big celebration

---

After about 14 hours on trains we arrived at Lausanne. An almost instantaneous leap across the platform and our connection is underway along the northern edge of Lake Leman (Lake Geneva). We pass through Villeneuve (Red Bull Acro Competitions will be here in a month or so), on to Montreux, past the beautiful Chateau Chillon (on the banks of the lake) and finally arrive in Aigle around 8:30am.

Across from our hotel is a great little shop - a chocolatier. Breakfast calls. Walking back down the street we see a couple that look familiar (even though we haven't seen them for half a decade) - It's Jean Paul and Janine. So delighted to see them already. They are flat out with arrangements for the big day tomorrow. For the past week, all through Denmark and Germany (in the height of summer) rain has followed us, but now the sun is beginning to shine. Tomorrow will be another day...
