The Island Of Sodor, 1966
Michael Brandon: Thomas And The Aston Martin DB5.
James & Henry: *Pass each other pulling freight trains*
Michael Brandon: It was a bright, and sunny day on the Island Of Sodor. Thomas was at Tidmouth Sheds, awaiting instructions for a special special to deliver to Sir Topham Hatt.
Sir Topham Hatt: Today is the day that I get an Aston Martin DB5.
Michael Brandon: Boomed Sir Topham Hatt.
Sir Topham Hatt: You will deliver it from Brendam Docks to Maithwaite safely, and slowly.
Thomas: Yes sir.
Michael Brandon: Chuffed Thomas. And he raced away as quickly as he could. When Thomas arrived at Brendam Docks, he saw the Aston Martin DB5. It was silver, and very shiny. Thomas puffed up to the flatbed where the Aston Martin DB5 was, and puffed away before the shunter could fasten the coupling.
Thomas: *Blows his whistle twice as he passes Salty, leaving Brendam Docks with his flatcar*
Michael Brandon: When Thomas got onto the mainline, he puffed up Gordon's Hill.
Thomas: *Passes Molly*
Molly: *Pulling three coaches*
Michael Brandon: Gordon's hill was very steep. Thomas puffed slowly up the hill. When he reached the top, the Aston Martin DB5 rolled down the other side.
Thomas: *Chasing his runaway car*
Michael Brandon: The flatcar went into a siding, and hit the buffers, and the Aston Martin DB5 flew into the chocolate factory.
Thomas: *Stops behind the flatcar* Oh no.
Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas. He saw the Aston Martin DB5 get towed out of the factory, and it was covered in chocolate, and badly damaged. When Sir Topham Hatt arrived, he was very cross.
Sir Topham Hatt: What the hell?
Michael Brandon: Boomed Sir Topham Hatt.
Sir Topham Hatt: You did not deliver the Aston Martin DB5 safely, and slowly. You will not have your branch line for three months. After that punishment, you will not receive a new coat of paint for five months. After that punishment, you shall be scrapped.
Michael Brandon: And Thomas never made any mistakes ever again.

The End
After studying the mini booklet the past night, my mother and I decided to ride the tram bus going back to Vevey. We showed the visitor card to the driver, who then allowed us to take our seats. It was a relaxing ride. When we arrived, we went to a small shopping center to eat lunch. We also explored the department store and supermarket, where we bought some take-out food, chocolate bars, and juice. After the mall closed for the day, we went around the neighborhood for a couple of hours before going back to the hotel. My father returned from his work and asked how our day was. We told him that we had lots of fun together, to which he responded, "I am very happy to know that you are enjoying the place." Soon, it was time to go to bed. Before I slept, my mother told me that we will be visiting Montreux tomorrow.

Today is the start of our first trip to Switzerland and our very first trip to the continent of Europe. Everything is all set. We have our passports with the visas ready, our hotel has been booked, and we have arranged for a car service to take us to the airport. I was very excited for this trip. Our flight path includes a stopover in Singapore, since there are no direct flights going to Switzerland from the Philippines. The airline that we rode is Singapore Airlines. When we touched down in Singapore, we had to stay there overnight as the flight going to Zurich is on the next day. We stayed in a cheap, low quality hotel called Grand Chancellor, which is located in the Little India district. After checking in, we ate dinner outside and did some shopping in a nearby mall. We got ready to sleep right away once we got back to our room, as we had to wake up early for the flight tomorrow...
