Amazing Race...We think not!

Lora and I have felt that George and Marty would be good candidates for the Amazing Race. That was until this morning when we were trying to leave Switzerland. Bruno led us to a gas station and George was filing up the tank. He had just finished filling the tank when he realized he had filled the tank with Regualr Unleaded Gas....we have a Diesel car! Luckily Bruno was still around and was able to call his local garage and we were towed over. We are back at Bruno's place waiting for the mechanic to drain the tank. We never started the car or else we really would have had problems.

It's a slight delay in the plans but we are thankful it wasn't worse. Pictures to follow when we get a chance.

Yesterday, Bruno took us site seeing again as we toured a Castle, an Abbey and the beautiful city of Luzern. When we got back, Brigitta had a wonderful Swiss meal prepared of Venison stew, Spaetzle and Red Cabbage. We were so thankful for the wonderful hospitality from Bruno and Brigitta we decided we'll stay longer then originally planned :-)

Don't tell Lora, but we have started our final week of the trip. Back to France!

The same thing happened to my parents and I! Except we did drive away and the car broke down on a deserted mountain road in Germany!
