Switzerland, a setup test for africa
 

At Friday i could pickup the car. It dont is really finished - but for a first trip it was finished enough.

Therefore we had plans for friday night (Swiss cheese Fondue with friends) - we decide to do a one night trip from samedy to sunday.

Also it is the first night for my Girlfriend - and i hope she will like it - so it is better to stay only one night out.
We still have not choosen how we will cook in africa (Gas, Petroleum), dont have a table - and have to improvise a bit.

So we bought a disposable grill, a big torch, and start pretty late as we reached the lake

And we have to cross the mountain pass. But we found a nice spot at daylight, but till the fire light - the night was there. Just in time, i would say.

The starts in the sky are so bright in the mountains - beautiful. But it get cold too, arround 5 Celsius degrees - good to have a fire!
We sleep very well inside, and push two times the webasto parking heater, that warms the car quickly without beeing too loud.
We sleeped very well, and wake up pretty late arround 10 o clock. Now it was time to show my girlfriend, that all neccecary stuff is there - it was.
