6 dinner. Thence down the Danleseg (?) valley , dotted with ruins & castles to Zürich where supper & baths proved welcome preludes to bed. A day in Zürich re-packing & shopping & then off for England ! We broke the long journey by a night at Mayence , where we got a glimlpse of the cathedral. This is very old (eleventh century) & full of quaint pictures & images. I think Fritz was quite disgusted at my calling these “funny” — but they really were & one can scarcely be expected to appreciate any other quality or value in half an hour! In the morning, early, the inhabitants began collecting all sorts of “junk” on the aquare in front of the hotel: bedsteads, furniture, umbrellas & what-not. We concluded it must be a sort of exchange or second-hand market. Mayence is awfully old & full of quaint houses, narrow winding streets & smells. You never know when you start on a street where you are going to end up — just as likely as not where you do not intend to.
