Day 9 … I think?
Day off in Thun, Switzerland.
Last night we played an amazing festival in Thun (sounds like “toon”). The show was certainly one for the books. And we most certainly rocked.
Today, we had a great day off at a very nice hotel right on the shores of the Thunersee “(tuner say”), or Thun Lake, in Thun, Switzerland.
When you tour at our level, it’s better to work the most days you can when you’re out here, because if you don’t play, you have to pay, as in hotels, meals, etc.
But, a day off in a very beautiful location is really good for morale. So is doing laundry.
More on that, in a later blog.
Doing laundry on tour is very important. But like I said, we’ll get around to that later.
Tomorrow we head to Italy where more beautiful scenery, people, and food await we weary troubadours.
Thanks for coming along, and stay tuned.
Oh, the photos do little justice to the experience.
Sorry!
Peace.

Years ago, while in Zurich, (traveling in Europe–) we threw our stuff in the laundromat & went across the street to mini-mart to kill time. We were going up & down the aisles looking at all the cool & unusual stuff, packaging, etc. –picking it up, but not buying anything, when we were pulled aside –Bill by a guy, me by a woman (non-english-speaking) –& escorted into side-by-side booths & strip-searched. They thought we were shop-lifting 🙂
