Swiss Bomb Squad



Beautiful lake near Mannedorf



Glorious mountains in a layer of snow

Arrived Zurich airport at approximately 0730. We quickly made our way to baggage claim and to the exit to meet up with Dora. Dora had a bit of trouble finding us and I suggested to Gary that we order  a cuppa and ask for the phonebook. Gary would keep an eye out for Dora. Soon after Gary arrived with Dora in tow and we all had a drink before grabbing our bags. Now this is where our next problem started. Gary could not find his pack anywhere. Had it been taken or did he leave it behind somewhere? We decided to trace back his steps and soon bumped into a policeman going through a pack. It did not take long for Gary to realize that it was his backpack. On closer inspection there were quite a few police hanging around. On reading their identification they turned out to be the bomb squad. Gary had a bit of explaining to do and was let of the hook with a dire warning. Gary and I have been quite jet lagged and decided to rest rather than explore. After about 5 hours sleep we were ready to explore the area around Mannendorf, where Dora lives. We soon realized that Switzerland is a quaint place, with beautiful homes and pristine lakes and glorious mountains, just waiting for us.
