Had a wonderful day yesterday--a fairly mild (for Thomson) ride of about 125K and 8000 feet of climbing, ending in Kemmeriboden. At the top of Gurnigal pass you could see Interlaken and the Jungfrau. They were having a Swiss wrestling tournament at the hotel (don't ask--I have no idea--perhaps wrestling cows?) so there were lots of people. The countryside is beautiful; and on Sunday, all the Swiss are out recreating! The top picture is of our hotel in Andermatt; we've gone from French-speaking Switzerland to German-speaking Switzerland. Needless to say, everything is immaculate! We could learn a few lessons! Vern is riding very well and I'm sure is pumped for all the passes today. We stay in Andermatt for 2 nights, so tomorrow I'm going on a bus tour of the surrounding passes instead of riding in the sag van. (So does SAG stand for Support and Groan?) The tour is on the Swiss Post Bus, and stops at one of the glaciers in the area. Love to all, V and K
Is that a picture of Vern on a breakaway? You look good my friend. And those are some cool looking roads.
