Brunch at the waterfall

Bea and Tjeerd surprised us with a wonderfully scenic brunch, on the Rhine, below Switerland's most famous waterfall. 

And what a waterfall.  The pics I took didn't show it all so I got this pic from the internet to show you what it looks like. You can't tell in the picture but the power of the water going over is absolutely breathtaking. Our boat motored up almost to the base so we could experience the full impact.

And of course there is a castle (oh yawn another castle) above the waterfall to give it that cute European timeless quality.

For 2 hours we cruised down the Rhine, with Switzerland on one side and Germany on the other, while having brunch. It was all very well organised with lots of bread, meat and cheese. The standard European breakfast.

As you can see from my chubby cheeks in the picture, I have stacked on HEAPS of weight. So has Steve. None of my trousers fit anymore. And no wonder. I've eaten more cheese, cured meats and wine in six weeks than I ever thought possible. When we get home we may both be born again vegans!
