Ther was a bit of drama before we could get on the ferry. My Amex was not accepted twice. I have learnt you don't try a third time. No worries I will use my C BA M/C. It was declined. However I do have the CBA App so opened it up and there was a message was tht you in Zurich. Yes so went back and accepted. Just as well as I had no CHF and s it turned out did not need any..

If I may ask, what do you think was the issue with your Amex @drron ? Had you used it successfully in Zurich?

And a car ferry about half way don the lake.














And a Peninsula.

 

[drron]

Used it 3 times the day before. It has done this to me on a few occasions. Two days later no problem.

 

[drron]

The peninsula seemed to be 2 properties that had vineyards.

Still a little way to go to the end of the lake

We were getting close to the end of the lake and it was time for a drink. the selections.






So mrsdrron had her white wine and I the beer from Hell.












One final stop before the tun around and it was at an island which had a museum. Several got off here.

We reached the end of the lake. Quite a nice town.


























And the wharf is Rapperswil the same name as ou r ferry.






Most people got off here but some stayed on. We bought a ticket for the 4.5 hour cruise but in fact it was an all day ticket and you could hop off and thn catch another ferry. or just cruise to this end and catch a train back. they ran down either side of the lake and were frequent.
however we don't have the stamina now for full days so we were happy to cruise back.
