Didn't know what to do today, so I did nothing.

Walked to the castle, which wasn't particularly impressive. It looks a bit like the vice chancellor's office at a university. Maybe not Armidale university. There is a church attached to it, which seems to have remixed the bells. It must have done 20 dings and half a dozen dongs for 8 o'clock this morning. I thought a rave was going to break out. I had a look in the church from the outside. I didn't go in in case I got struck by lightning or burst into flames or someone built a bridge out of me.

I walked to the supermarket and got food, ate it, lazed by the pool (another mid 30 day today), read my book (I'm up to book 11) and totally disregarded the fact today was supposed to be spent figuring out where to go and how to get there.

I think I'll get a train (there's the 'how') to Basel (that's the' where') tomorrow (and a bonus 'when'. Got more done than I expected. I declare today a resounding success) . The Eurovelo 6 goes through there so I can continue on that. I would like to go into the Swiss Alps, mostly to see some mountain goats balancing on stuff they shouldn't be able to balance on, but I think I could live a fulfilling life without seeing that.

If it is ridiculously expensive to get the train I suppose I'll just keep riding. I ordered a eurovelo 6 guidebook pdf but it hasn't been emailed to me yet. I'm hoping it can give me some guidance. Because it's a guide book.

Also, a few people have mentioned they can't comment. It should be fixed now. If you had of told me in the comment I would have fixed it ages ago. Idiots...

Double also, there is an electric tree here!
