Swiss honesty

I like a wally left my purse on one of the lake ferries yesterday - it had everything in it, money, cards, you name it. I was slightly panicking as when I went back the boat had already gone to dry dock for the night and the crew had gone home - and I had 70Pfenigs to my name (that's about 35p!)

I had to sweat through a long evening and night (thanks to Sue and David I got through it easily actually by being propped up with lovely text messages!!)

Went off to the boats this morning and after a few phone calls, a long bus trip and a walk to the docks I found the office and there was my darling little purse, all waiting to come home.

If that had been in England, Australia or Singapore the chances of me ever seeing it again would have been odds against.

Thank you to the Swiss boating crew, you're an honest lovely bunch of people!


In the afternoon before the drama unfolded I went climbing - using the auto belayer. You go up come down go up come down etc - excellent workout!

Really looking forward to the advanced course with Christoph in a fortnight's time.
