Back in Switzerland

Hello

since Monday morning I`m back in switzerland! The airplane in Vancouver came 1.5 hours to late and so I hadn`t a connection in London. They put me on a waiting list for a other flight. but 5 hours later, they told me sorry no space. And so I had to stay for one night in the hotel hilton.
Next day i could take the flight on 7.15 am and I landed at 10.00 am in Switzerland. But my packege wasn`t there. The package came two days later.

It is a very special feeling to be home! I was a half year away but if I look back this looks very short!!
I appreciate all what I expirienced very much.

On monday Evaning I went for a dinner with friends from my house church. It is very nice to see my friends again.

If you would like to read about me then I would continue this Blog. Maybe with one letter in the months.

greets Rolf

back in Vancouver

Since saturday 1.30 I'm back in Vancouver by my homestay!!
I made a crazy trip last week: 2200 miles (3545 km) with a rental car.

I started on saturday at noon in Billings Montana and drove to Idaho falls in Idaho. This night I slept in the car and on 5 o'clock I continued the drive thru salt lake City and the salt flats in Utah and across Nevada to Reno on the border to California. After Reno I had to buy snow chains for to drive over the dunner pass. For this 1o miles I had maybe 5 hours because there was a snow storm and all cars had to drive so slowly. I made on this day over 800 miles and got sik. I threw up the whole night. The next day I felt really bad and this close to San Francisco. Finally I drove to San Francisco and took picture from the golden gate bridge and unfortunately I hadn't energy to go in the town. So I drove to the highway 1 on the Pacific coast and spent littel bit time on the coast and then I went in a motel to lie down and rest. Next day I drove only little bit because I was still sik, but the next three days I was healthy. I tell you this west coast in California and Oregon is so incredible beautiful with the beaches and the cliffs and the highway the most time close to the coast. On Saturday 12 o'clock i dropped the car off in Seattle Washington and went to a International Hostel and enjoyed the City. Next morning I had breakfast in the hostel and met some guys from Switzerland. Next to us was sitting a Lady and she heard that we speak about Vancouver, so she asked:" have somebody to go to Vancouver, because I drive to Vancouver?" and so I had a ride to Vancouver (hallelujah).

This morning I went to Church here in Vancouver and met the friends from the Church.

Hey I told you a mistake: I said that I come on at saturday 3,15! that's not true! I come on in Zuerich at sunday 6 pm.

the next blogg letter I will write in Switzerland. So have a very nice week! and thank you for visiting my blogg!
