Day 3: Towards the Alps

Slow start in the morning, which was too bad because the heat was already on when we left. 
As we were leaving, two Asian girls passed by, and I wanted to flex my language skills so i was like "ni hau" which is something like what's up in Chinese. They looked at me like I was a creep, and said "We're Japanese..." I couldn't stop laughing, and said to Radu over the intercom, "WTF man, they all look the same to me!!" 😂

We went south towards Switzerland. More amazing roads and scenery, until we hit traffic. Village after village, hotter and hotter. From 27 degrees in the morning, to 36+ as we got closer to the south.

We had to stop for refreshments, and it took us an hour to leave the air conditioned gas station. We had to pour water inside the jackets to get some cooling effect.

At the Swiss borser it was quite hot. Maybe not 40, but in any case at least 38° .. We stopped for more refreshments at a local grocery store 
The most expensive quick stop ever, at around 50€ for som cheese, tomatoes, sandwiches, cherries and water..
and then I was another victim of the Swiss drug abuse 
finally we checked in to the hotel, which was a new level of LOW. Call center check-in. Ridiculous..
rounding up the evening with a few beers and a plateau of local cheese and ham
