1970 Revisité

Linda and Dr Anne hitch hiked down through France to Paris, Dijon, and into Swirzerland.  Dr Anne remembers the lift they got that last part into Geneva.  A man picked them up to practise his French as he had just got a job in Geneva.  It was a big Rover car. The trip took them to Lausanne, Montreux.  They met two guys who took them to the glacier at Château d'Oex.  From there they hitched to Friburg and Bern.  They then went up the east coast to Calais.  

SS, next year Dr Anne is going to Bonn.  Should they do 1971 Revisité? Belgium, Holland, the Rhine?
