The goal of the day was the holy trinity, Furka - Grimsel - Nufenen passes. It's hard to capture the magniture of the roads from the bottom.
Furka Pass:
We stopped here, a guy had a flat tire and needed some tools - which Radu happened to have.
He drove an Escort, and it was his "fun car, for going on the mountain" He forgot to check the inside of the tires - not good.
Little woman, big mountain
We stopped at a small cafe in Andermatt, and had a hot chocolate. It was freezing, and the mist lay dense and damp.
Then we came to the new Gothard pass. The old one looked nicer, but it was paved with cubic stone - not nice to drive on.
After hitting a 20 km/h fog for like 1 hour on Susten pass, and when the fog dissapeared, the rain started, we finally came to the dead town of Wassen, where everything was silent except a mother, a father and a kid playing. The hotels were closed, but we managed to find a nice cheap backpacker place. Beer time again!
Radu is doing the dishes, and I'm catching it on film!
Grimsel pass was in fog and mist, so no action there. Gotta go back in 2 years ..
