Woke to a cloudy morning and by the
time we were ready to leave, it was raining. We drove across the top
of the Lake and then south, going from Germany to Switzerland and
back to a small slice of Germany before staying in Switzerland. When
we crossed the Swiss border, no border patrol was there and we sailed
right through. I knew that we needed a highway sticker to travel the
major highways, so we stopped at a gas station and paid 40 Euro. An
hour later when we were leaving Switzerland, the border patrol
stopped us and told us we had the wrong sticker. After some
paperwork and language confusion, we got everything straightened out.
It actually cost us a little less, but we need an overweight vehicle
sticker good for seven days, not the whole year.
We spent some time strongly conversing
with the GPS about where it thought a grocery store would be, but it
won and we had to abandon the idea after traveling miles out of our
way. Back on track, we drove south through the middle of Switzerland
to Lake Luzerne. We stopped at a campground on the Lake, got our
spot then headed out again to find a large grocery store. No good.
This is a tourist area and all the stores are small with little or no
parking. The good part was we got to drive for a good 10 miles north
along the lakefront – beautiful.
