SATURDAY
JULY 15, 1961 - LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND
We left Italy up through
the mtns. & into Switzerland. On our left we passed by the Matterhorn. It
was beautiful high in the clouds & covered with snow. It was raining the
road narrow & much of it under construction. We came through the customs OK.
We asked to have our passports stamped & they laughed & laughed. Drove
around Lake Geneva & into Geneva where we got a room in a tourist house (no
hot water). It was late, no choice.
SUNDAY JULY
16, 1961 - GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
We covered the town pretty
good. I went window shopping; lots of novelty shops were open. We took some pictures
of a beautiful floral clock etc. Got another room, not much better, but the town
is streaming with tourists. Prices high for what we did get $3.50 here. Thought
of buying a couple of watches, one for Bill & one for Chas. Had tea in an
English tearoom - Good too. Weather
quite cold. Rained during the night.
MONDAY JULY
17, 1961 - GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
Still in Geneva but not
for long. Chas. is going to get his car serviced then we‘ll blow. It’s raining again & cool. We‘re heading for warmer climate, couldn’t
stand the rain & cold in Switzerland. We just bought Bill a watch, an
automatic with calendar about $45.00 (F175) 21 jewels. Also bought Don a music
box & pipe in Heidelberg. Also bought Chas. a watchband, his was broken in
half
France - Stopped at a
small town of Nantua, had a very nice room & dinner & breakfast all for
$38.50 plus 6 bottles of beer for Chas. So good to run across a clean bathroom
etc.
