<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <DIV> <DIV>To all of you: We had a great time in Rome, spent 7 hours in the Vatican, it was great, but the crowds were so big that it really took the edge off the experience. Then north up through Tuscany region of Italy (quaintly beautiful) through to Switzerland where we took the most beautiful road of the trip over the majestic Swiss alps (camped on the 'Sustenpass'). We took list member Bill Kasper`s advice and went to the Interlaken region and took 4 cable car rides up the Schilthorn (2,971 meter mountain) and then walked down (full report to follow), it was GREAT. (thanks Bill) Switzerland is by far the most beautiful country that we have visited. Then again north up through a corner of (20 minutes) Austria and now north up through cutsie German town after cutsie Gerrman town (along what is called the Romantic Road) where we are now in Bamberg , Germany.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The van has been cooperating, no major problems, a bit of oil seepage but tightening the bolts around the offending pipes seems to have taken care of that. The fridge fuse blew, but that was fixed in 1 minute. We have about 10 days remaining and we will soon be heading west for Belgium to ship the van. Our mood picked up greatly in Switzerland and we are again enjoying every minute of the trip.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just thought you all would like to know, Malcolm & Pat</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html> |
