Another rainy day so we decided to relax in the room and catch up on photos and writing. Tonight, we met Leona and Philipp. Leona was our dive guide in Fiji who told us last year she was getting married in February and moving to Basel.

After driving following street signs that often did not exist or difficult to locate, and Norm mis-interpreting the map, we found the home of Leona and Philipp. They have a 3 story town house with a hot tub and sauna (to keep Leona warm on cold days) and a bomb shelter in the basement. We were surprised to learn that all homes in Switzerland are required to have a bomb shelter. We had Swiss fondue and appetizers and a wonderful rubbarb desert. We saw beautiful photos of their wedding on Castaway Island, Fiji. Since both of them are divemasters, we asked why the wedding was not underwater. They still need to teach Philipp’s mother to dive first. We had a nice night and learned from Leona that she only has heard of 2 other Fijians living is all of Switzerland. She is farther from home than we are. We had a fun night of catching up.

May 11 and12- Drove to Zurich and relaxed in the hotel room. We updated our web log. Yay!
