We made it in one piece! The journey went reasonably smoothly, although we didn’t get any breakfast because someone on board the aircraft fell sick, and had to be taken care of in the galley.
Our first impression of Switzerland was “everything’s small!” The roads are narrow, the cars are small, and the houses (our house, at least) are small. Mary-Anne also realised that she had had an idealised picture of European quality when over in the US. She had always compared American things, saying “That would be much better in Europe”. On arrival in Europe, she realised that her idealised picture is not the truth; the Europeans are just as sloppy as the Americans.
I am now too tired to write more. I’ve been awake for 32 hours, in an attempt to switch to Swiss time in one go, beating the jetlag. I hope it works…
