Horay - Lets celebrate! My shoes and camera have arrived! A big thanks to Shon and Ruth. I didn't have to wait long so I'm back on track.
And a big thanks to Roger the dodger, a 'manouverer' of note. Not only is he a Visa-organiser par excellence! But a work agent too. I arrived in Interlanken at about 11:30am. First time I see Rog in 1 1/2 years he skips all the pleasantries and jumps straight into it: 'Hey Dex. What you doing this afternoon? You keen on doing some driving?'
So, I've been doing some driving for this guy Bernie. A half Swiss-Aussie running his own hang-gliding operation. His girlfriend is his usual driver but she's gone on strike. And the good thing is I've earned some Francs in the most expensive country in the world... tax free baby.
The Swiss International Open hang-gliding champs are going to be held this weekend. I'm looking forward to that. What a sight! Some 60 - 70 gliders in the air all on a cross country marathon.
A word of advice to the adventure buffs: Don't come to Switzerland to go White Water Rafting. Its better to say you haven't rafted here than to say you have.

Nice to see your BLOG SPOT coming along
I really wish I was there with you and The Browns.
So you better take loads of pics. I want to see a pic of 70 gliders in the air all at once
Laters
Sure Matt! The weather aint so good good so they might not fly.
'The wind has to be right, its all about the wind. You cant do anything without the wind!' Is all you hear from the glider dudes. They forget to mention the clouds, heavy ground fog, lightening and torrential rain.
