The weather held good for Sunday with Basel in the eveing, they are shortly to hold a referendum whether to keep trolleybuses, just one route was working. We did Switzerland as side trip from Mulhouse in France
Bad weather all round on Monday, we went to Lyon for the day, it hardly stopped raing, here is a taster!
Our next Swiss destination was Zurich with scenes taken in the afternoon, still Sunday, and still the sun was shining.
After our first day in Mulhouse stopping at the Kyriad which was ok apart from the flies in the restaurant we had a day in Switzerland on the Sunday which has pretty well same services as weekdays. Started as you will note in Luzern, pretty good weather still although plenty of storms floating about. The trolley fleet is rapidly modernising
I start with Mulhouse, the first destination on our trip, scenes taken last Saturday afternoon. We liked everything about it, the new two line tram system, the people, the museums. An unsung place well worth visiting.
All covers for DVD up to date
a friendly new rally at the re opened North West Museum Of Transport, next year we hope that many more of you will either attend as visitors or bring along your preserved buses. The museum is light and airey and clean, made very welcome although trade was a little sparse! Tonight continue to tidy garden and water. Getting covers done for Hong Kong DVDS and downloaded photos to disc
Tonight I will have finished editing my Hong Kong films and then tomorrow I'll post on St Helens rally whilst getting covers ready. On Friday we depart on the 2007 PMP European tour with Martin Rickitt and Johnn Bishop. New printer purchased and installed this evening. Did a bit of work on my book, it's ever closer to being finished. Still watering garden like mad as no rain for several days.
well another frustration, my printer has gone wrong, they cost a fortune for ink and don't last 5 minutes, these photos were on Tuesday morning, the buses on H K island when the video packed up with the dew meter as it was about 90 % humidity after the wet day before, I got through 5 bottles of water ( plus a few jars of the black stuff in the evening).
see what I was driven to by the heat! Hagen Daz ice cream, and thats a yankee outfit.
The terminus west of Jordan, about 17.45 last Tuesday afternoon, near end of rush hour.
Back on Nathan Road earlier same day
Yuen Long mid rush hour on Wednesday morning. Yuen Long is now minutes away from Kowloon on the KCR West Link, runs about every 4 minutes, it was a right slog getting there previously but most of the bus routes still run there. Long Win buses go to the airport.
Pretty well in reverse order again, Tuen Mun up to Yuen Long in NT on the LRT, it expands virtually annually , I'll have to buy a new guide book next trip. Sitting in the garden this afternoon after loading car ready for St Helens rally and open day at the bus museum tomorrow Sunday. Hope to see some of you there. Also downloading HK material , should have 5 or 6 films to release in next week, then its our European tram and trolley tour.
