Extractions: A.D. 600 the Mayas undertook a massive migration which led this highly civilised people from Central America deep into the northern regions of South America. In Yucatan they established the earliest known cocoa plantations. There is no doubt, however, that the Mayas must have been familiar with cocoa several centuries earlier. From the very early days of cocoa the peoples of Central America used beans as a form of payment. The use of cocoa beans as units of calculation must also have become established before A.D. 1000. One Zontli equalled 400 cocoa beans, while 8000 beans equalled one Xiquipilli. In Mexican picture scripts a basket with 8000 beans represents the figure 8000. By subjugating the Chimimeken and the Mayas, the Aztecs strengthened their supremacy in Mexico. Records dating from this period include details of deliveries of cocoa which were imposed as tributes on conquered tribes. On his fourth voyage to America, Columbus landed on 30th July 1502 in Nicaragua and was the first European to discover cocoa beans. These were used by the natives as currency and also in the preparation of a delightful drink. But Columbus, who was still searching for the sea route to India, was not interested in cocoa.

Extractions: When Richard Freytag and I started planning this year's recumbent tour, the somewhat obnoxious idea of touring Switzerland on the outside came up. We liked it, although it was soon clear that we would not manage the complete round in the time we had on our hands so we decided to go for a semi-circle and save the rest for later. After contacting Andreas Fuchs (from the HPV mailing list) in Bern for help with some practical details, it was decided that we would start in Bern and thus get a couple of days of riding in Switzerland before entering France. We met up in Bern on Saturday the 28:th of May. My train got in first so I'd assembled my bike and had a bite to eat before Richard showed up. While I sat at the "Rendez-vous" spot in the station hall, on my comfortable bike and waited, I was accosted by two people. One was a sad-looking Jehova's Witness who tried to hand me a gruesome-looking pamphlet in German and the other was a man who explained that he, too, had a recumbent, a Lightning P-38. I was delighted and assumed that he must know the two Andreases (Fuchs and Weigel) on the HPV list since they both ride P-38's, but he did not. He did, however, have two other friends with Lightnings. Bern must be a regular hotbed of recumbency. Eventually, Richard arrived. While he was finishing putting his bike together, Andreas Fuchs showed up and took us to a warehouse where he had arranged for us to store our transport boxes. He then guided us to the youth hostel and took us to a nice restaurant for dinner.

Another elevator at the far end of the tunnel provides access to Lake Thun and its shoreline paths. S witzerland is a country that poses challenges for wheelchair-bound travelers, if only because its most scenic areas are mountainous. Still, the Swiss have made great strides in improving access for disabled tourists, so there's no reason to let an Alp stand in your way of your travel plans. According to Switzerland Tourism, more than 150 railway stations now have wheelchair ramps, and another 150 have special wheelchair lifts to help passengers on and off trains. In smaller towns, station employees may lift wheelchair passengers on and off the train by hand. Many lake steamers are wheelchair-accessible. (The main deck is usually at the same level as the landing platform or gangway.) Check with the local boat ticket office, since some sailings may be more wheelchair-friendly than others. And don't bother paying extra for a first-class ticket. Second class is just as comfortable, and the cheaper fare will save you from climbing stairs to the first-class deck on larger boats.
