Yep you got in on the first guess, Lake ThunNice one! Where are you right now?
Lake Thun/Thunersee? Brienzersee?
Yep you got in on the first guess, Lake Thun
Lovely spot but a bit noisy as it’s close to the main road.

Yep, that’s the spot just using park4night app. Road was pretty quiet after 11pm (ish). Have moved to Faulensee to use showers, but everything is locked up and parking is free so guess you could stay here.As far as I remember theres the train rail and the road behind and not many spots right next to the lake?
However: Enjoy your stay here! Maybe you plan to drive by/close to the Lake Lucerne (1 or 2 spots)/Zug (1-2 parkings) or Lake Zurich (cp close to the city).
Yew trees were planted in churchyards for military purposes at around the time of Agincourt, 1415.There are 99 Yew trees in the churchyard and a local tale says that if the 100th one is planted, it never takes.
Very interesting.Yew trees were planted in churchyards for military purposes at around the time of Agincourt, 1415.
Yew is poisonous to many farm animals, and before the Inclosures [sic] Acts, farm animals roamed freely around villages. The only place in many villages that was enclosed was the churchyard, this was to prevent wild animals and feral dogs from digging up and eating the interred. Yew was grown in churchyards to reduce the risk of domestic animals being poisoned and as the best wood to make longbows.
Wow! A Cali in Mozambique? Any place we can read more about your travels? Very nice picturesView attachment 53524OK so I got horribly stuck in deep soft very hot beach sand today in rural Mozambique.
Switched off Skid Control.
Engaged Diff-lock.
All 4 wheels churned under great strain. Alas, I wish this Cali had a low-range option.
For the first time ever I had a red warning on the dash with an audible tone too, showing "Stop - Gearbox Overheating!"
Anyways, it's good to know that warning feature is there.
With a bit of digging, some traction tracks, and of course the dear wife pushing, we got out & mobile again.
