05/23 Hobbyless Country Bendern/GASTHOF ZUM DEUTSCHEN RHEIN/201.3km
I met a boy before I left Engelberg. I had met him beside a lake on May 18. He remembered me too. We had a pleasant chat. And I gave him a visiting card. A adorable girl of "MARO" too. When I come here again, I want to meet them.
I arrived in Liechtenstein. First I bought stamps. This Country has plunged into making stamps. I think that Liechtenstein is hobbyless country.
05/24 The Tanakas Zurich/The Tanakas' house/140.2km
I arrived in Zurich before evening. I didn't lose my way and found the Tanakas' house because Dr. Tanaka had given me a accurate advice.
They greeted me with a smile. Moreover my "CUB" was fixed at underground private parking.
Todays dinner is Chinese menu. I was treated to a meal specially prepared by Dr. Tanaka. He said that operations are similar to cooking. From this dish, I presume he is quite shrewd doctor. And his wife is modest, quick-witted and capable. We call a woman like her "Yamato-Nadeshiko".
We enjoyed meal with Ms. Angela who is a Swiss girl and study Japanses on Zurich university. She is good Japanese speaker. By the way, she have been to Japan to study Japanses.
I' m happy to get to know them.
05/25 in Zurich Zurich/The Tanakas' house/0km
I had been in a leisurely manner all day long. That's all.
05/26 Mt. Rigi Zurich/The Tanakas' house/0km
Tanaka family went out with me to Mt. Rigi by car. There is a place of scenic beauty.
Today's dinner is ginger-flavored slices of fried pork. Dr.Tanaka is a great cook. I had eaten my fill.
We enjoyed talking after meal. He is a great genius. He is a man we should all respect.
05/27 Lake Leman Rolle/Camping Aux Vernes/363.9km
I was reluctant to left the Tanaka's house.
Toward evening I arrived at Lake Leman and ran around. Along the way, at last I got the stamp of carnet I had wanted for so long.
I camped out by the lake.
05/28 Camping Rolle/Camping Aux Vernes/2.6km
I like camping. This camp site has beautiful view.
I cooked my own meals. Today's dinner was Japanese Curry. It is different from Indian curry. It evolved in Japan. I think it is very delicious.
05/29 lake Leman 2 Sonceboz/B&B/308.2km
I ran around Lake Leman again. Though I was goint to move to Paris, I changed it and ran toward Basel.
Even so it was hot.
I stoped over at Sonceboz that is encircled by mountains.
