From Italy to Switzerland

A bit of an off day on Friday. In the hostel there was a chap who, when he blew his nose it sounded like a loud untuneful musical instrument and the sound echoed through the corridors. He blew his nose every night and every morning. On Friday he did it at 5.20 a.m. - not a good start.

We caught an early bus ready for our 3 train journeys. When we arrived at the station we discovered that there was a strike just on this particular line- only a 20 minute journey but crucial to our travel plans. We asked about alternatives but the station is 15 minutes drive from the town and the bus service was sparse. No alternative but to get a taxi for this first leg. Despite Martin negotiating a price the cost still hurt.

If things happen in threes then my 3rd was bumping my head hard on concrete when storing my rucksack in the hostel store as we were too early to check in.

Never mind - there had to be one off day and hopefully it's been and gone.
