Souvenir vendors are tenacious, to the point of draping a garment
on you as you walk by. This is Kiera, one of the two Americans
living in Switzerland who were on the boat who found a way
around the stiff 89-euro fee for this optional excursion. They spent
the afternoon the day before leaving interviewing taxi drivers and
inspecting their cars, choosing one and inviting me to share expenses.
We each chipped in 38 euros.
