Switzerland

Like a postal card...
I walk in the country, between a deep blue sky, white mountains, covered by the last snows, and large green meadows... Quiet, clean air, so nice !
After two pause days, the bagpack seems heavyer than ever, full of stones. I will need two days to get to carry it like before.
Folling the Lake border, I have joined Lausanne in a few days and there, I have met again the Saint James Way. But contrary to the French way, I have met no one or nearly. Alone on the way, as I love. Sleeping in the forest, walking under the sun, in my postal card... so nice.
After Lausanne, I took the way of Friburg and Bern, to visit the capital : there was a lot of people in the city : I was arrived just for a big foot race collecting a lot of runners from everywhere in the world : concerts, parties, decorations in the streets, very nice atmosphere.
Two days after, on the road again !
Direction Interlaken and the both marvelous lakes of Thunes and Brienz : no one turists, sun, mountains and sky reflecting in the water, emerald color.... Wonderful !
After Brienz, for this occasion, I have complete my first 40 kilometers walking during 9 hours in the mountains. I was proud !... and exhausted.
After that, I followed more and more the little roads instead of the St Jame's way : it was more direct, and I wanted to move quickly : I was impatient, and each mountain passed was calling the next, ahead, always in front of me.
I have followed the way passing by Shwyz and Appenzel to join Austria in Feldkirch (north border of Liechtenstein). It was always beautiful, but after two weeks in the same landscape, it's enought : there, everything is beautiluf, clean, and rich... to much. Everything is under control, nothing is natural.

So I was happy, in spite of the rain falling since two days, to arrived in Austria.
