Day 16 – 6/2

Transfer to Switzerland

We spent most of today on the bus traveling from France to Switzerland. After about an hour we stopped at a gas station to use the restroom and get snacks. A few hours later we stopped in a town in Burgundy called Bone for lunch. It was a holiday so a lot of places were closed and the places that were open were very expensive so I got chicken nuggets. (Yes I know - not very adventurous but I'm saving my appetite for Italy.) On the bus we finished watching Moulin Rouge. Next we watched 300 as a courtesy to the three boys on our tour.

Our hotel in Lucerne is called the Jail Hotel because it used to be an actual jail. It would have been a cool place to stay if it wasn't so terrible. Our room was tiny and dirty. The window was open when we got there so there were bugs in the room, including a half squished spider on the wall.

We were fortunate enough to have a full bathroom with a shower in our room but every time someone used the community shower upstairs, it sounded like ours was running. I found, Christina, my roommate, in the stairwell when when I came upstairs from using the internet (which was only available for 12 people at a time outside on the sidewalk.) She said she doesn't even believe in an afterlife and the sound of our shower being on with no one else in the room freaked her out. We are sleeping with a light on tonight.
