Update - written in Switzerland
"Es kommt alles anders als man denkt." is german proverb... How true.
Claes and myself returned to Udden and worked there and had a great time. On Wednesday we were lifting heavy stones to move them to the shoreline by the sauna to secure it against the waves. The next day I had so much backpain I couldn't move at all. With painkillers from the States it was better. I bought pain killer in Sweden the next day. But this tablets made me so depressive and I really had panic and fear attacks. Nightmare! I tried to relax and read and enjoy my time there. But it was difficult and it was bad weather all the time... So I booked a flight home for the Tuesday 31st July. Fortunately SAS had cheap one-way tickets. It was a hard decision but in retrospective a wise one.
So I just had several days left and I helped where I could but it was difficult because I couldn't lift things or probably I could have but I was scared to do it...
On Sunday and Monday I was filming the play with a videocamera. So the actors have some kind of documentation. It was great fun.
On Tuesday I left for Switzerland. One week earlier than planned: First by rowing boat from Udden to Stadra. Then by bus to Örebro, by train to Stockholm, by airport bus to the airport. Flight to Copenhagen. Change plane in Copenhagen and further on to Zurich. A hell of a long trip but I managed quiet well and my back didn't give me much problems...
Big surprise was that Christian and Michael were picking me up at the airport with a car. So great... Had a nice dinner afterwards. Was surprised how dark the nights are here in Switzerland ;-)
On the national day, 1st of August, I went to see a doctor at the mainstation in Zurich. So I got good medicine and she just told me to be patient... In the afternoon I met Eneko and his "gang" at Wädenswil. Later in the evening we had a BBQ by the lake and we enjoyed all the fireworks etc. Great night and my first national day in years in Switzerland ;-)
The rest of the week I worked normally and now I am enjoying the weekend by doing nothing ;-)
