Read more: Saturday July 11: Day 5Morning has broken... in such a divine way with the Moon still peeping through! We soak in the beauty and bask in the morning light for a few minutes. It's just 5AM. Still sleepy eyed, I get back to catching up on my zzzzs..

I snooze for another 3 hours on the pretext of Jetlag, but in reality I'm just being a Faulpelz all morning while Lukas continues to work on the wedding bands in his workshop.

 

Woke up in the morning with the construction noise from the neighboring building. Boy, these swiss workers start early -- it's still just 6:45AM. Don't they realize that I no longer have to go to work and can afford to sleep longer###!!!

Anyways i get outta bed as we have an appointment with the caterer @ 9AM.

A day for appointments and meetings.. After 12 hours on the road, I'm wondering how it can be that i had more meetings today than in my previous Avatar @ QC!

Interestingly neither the Kantonal Bank nor Post Finance want to do anything with either a US Citizen or USD. Wake up USA!!

Next stop at Apartment office where good news awaits us: We get the keys to our apartment from July 16th, but can't move in until July end :)

From there on to the Cruise Boat company where we get to see our boat and then an hour drive to visit the seamstress for another fitting of the Gown. After a few more trials (& mistrials), Susi has the Gown READY!!!! Finally. Yeah -- she has survived the journey from Morristown to East Windsor to Newark to Zurich to Näfels to Beckenried.

The best part of the day was the drive back home over Klausen Pass (elevation: 1,948 metres, a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting Altdorf in the canton of Uri with Linthal in the canton of Glarus) amidst twilight zone..

 

 

Being Faulpelz (lazybones in Swiss-German!) the whole day isn’t a bad idea after all.. I could get used to it!

Lukas invites me to a drink in the evening at “Rössli biergarten”.

The peaceful surroundings of the mountains, the placid waters of the lake with the ducks swimming around, a cynar in my hand and thou besides me – ummmmmmm what mehr could I ask for??
