Rheinfall Day

Just had breakfast in the burg (castle).  This is a seminar hotel and the breakfast room was populated with, almost exclusively male, business people with their jacket logos, satchels etc.

The weather for today is forecast to be up to a 30% chance of rain. It's currently a little drizzly but not uncomfortable.

The ride to the Rheinfall is about 14k and I'll be coming back the same route.  We'll be boating under the mist of the falls so a might as well get used to it.

Here's the castle where breakfast is served.


 I took a little walk yesterday looking for cheap eats (beer and sausage it turned out)

A bit of technical info. I found that the pins on my German adapter (the grey deal in the middle of this arrangement), although fitting into the Swiss socket, do not convey electricity the way the Swiss intended.  Reception dug up an adapter from German to Swiss and I was on my way. Only way I can figure it is that the middle prong is not Ground but Neutral on the Swiss system. Something to look up.

The Hodgepodge

More from this day when I return from Schaffhausen,
