Two days ago we were in Belgium.

Last night we were in France. Today we crossed the border into Switzerland. We bought the “Vignette” sticker at the border, for about CHF 40 (Swiss Franks, about AU$65), which allows us to drive on all the roads here. It’s kind of a pay once road toll. There are so many tunnels, with more being built. I can see where the toll money goes. We have only seen about two potholes so far in all of Europe.

Like most days, we just book our accommodation in the late afternoon, when we know roughly where we’re going to be at about 4pm. We pick a town on Booking.com, entry a few filters like private bathroom, switch to map view, and look for good value places nearby. We usually choose out of the cities.

This time we choose in the town of Biel/Bienne, which goes by its French and German name. Nice hotel, very friendly and helpful Sofia at reception, who speaks multiple languages.

We ordered a poke bowl for dinner, via Uber Eats delivery. Chilled evening stay.

Charging:

As a bonus, the hotel has EV chargers right out the front. Reception advised us to use those spots, rather than doing the “gymnastics” required to get “a big car like your Tesla” into the underground car park.
