Saturday 15th September

I asked Zia last night to knock on the door in the mornings to wake me up and I slept in slightly because of how tired I was last night but she said she didn't like doing it. It's okay, it doesn't bother me at all.

Pat had organized for us to Skype with him but he invited over Nonna and Nonno too. At my house. Not sure if he invited himself over, he'll need to clarify that part I guess. But I went over to Tony and Cristina's after Pat called us up and I got it all hooked up. Now there is always a slight lag in these things and it's sometimes annoying but older people just don't understand it. Hence why mum yells at me every-time I call her! Well they were yelling and talking and lagging and blurry and moving rooms and the kids were loud and screaming and the background was dark so we couldn't see. Finally it worked well, except it was blurry but there was a lag still. In the end we gave up after 30 minutes but it was the first time some of us got to see each other in a while. Marcus, Monica, Micaela, Agatha, Pat, Nonno, Nonna, mum, dad talking to Zia, Zio, Cristina, Joel and yours truly. But like I said it didn't last long so it felt more awkward than anything.

Once Tony got back from work we went to go to check out what's Europe's biggest waterfall. It's funny how it worked because we were split into different cars, boys in one and girls in the other. When we got there you could see the bus loads of Asians and old people. It was pretty amazing seeing the waterfall because the water there is actually pretty clear so seeing that is something that just amazed me. I think I looked bored but I wasn't, I'm just not used to strolling down the street at a slower pace than when I'm alone. When I go solo I just blitz through things to see more of everything but less of the detail. I'm
Not used to the slow romantic style walk of checking out the works. But we were able to actually walk around, despite Zio doing the usual old man thing and walking off or walking extra slow. That said, he paid for the four of us to go on a boat to get to the rock which sits right on the waterfall.

Ah let me explain that boat ride. And let me explain how I pissed myself laughing from an image that'll never got away. There was a 3 year old girl taking a piss in the crystal clear pristine waters of Europe's largest waterfall in Switzerland. Yep. She was held in the right position to piss directly into the water and I turned right at the exact moment to see it. Ah the memories. But let me explain how clear the water was, you could again see the bottom, you could see massive fish in and swans on the water. It was amazing.

I was told to bring my passport as well because I'd need it for when I go outside of Switzerland. We went to a town which was bombed in WWII from an American who confused it for Germany. German towns and Swiss towns look different, but the boarders changed and from the air I guess everything looks the same. Switzerland is a neutral country which doesn't engage in wars and therefor this is just one of those things that happens. So we got some sweets and walked around the town. Once we left we headed straight to Germany. For 20 minutes I was in Germany. We reached the first town, got to a place which had a restaurant, cafe and pizza place. Zio wanted to eat at the restaurant but no one else did, but I was going with the flow. Then everyone wanted pizza, but they saw too many flies inside and apparently on the food. So we left Germany...just like that. There was no need for the passport either which was good because I ended up creasing the thing from having it in my back pocket.

We just drove back to Fraunfeild and where we had Italian for dinner. Majorly of us got pizza which was actually amazing. Yet the prices weren't and Zio paid for the whole lot of us. I did however take a nice crap in the toilet there before I ate because Zia again over-fed me for lunch and I was in massive discomfort. However during dinner I asked if the waiter could get a photo of all of us. Firstly she held the camera upside down and didn't know why she couldn't use it right. Secondly she thought she took several photos but didn't because she never pushed the button down. So she did it again, this time she did it the right way around.
