Looking down a valley. Those mountains at the end reach 13,000 feet!

I know it's sad, but I love these Spanish Seat Cupra's!


At the top of a pass. Makes the Rimutakas look pathetic! Remember this is the height of summer and there's snow!

Where we stayed in Lauterbrunnen. That's the cute wee railway station.

Hopefully this gives some idea how steep the track was.

We're going up there! In a train!

Up the top. What's that sound?

I was incredibly lucky to see this. She sounded beautiful echoing around the mountains at 12,000 feet!

Proof it was Switzerland..

The restaurant etc built into the mountain. That glacier stretches for about 14km down the valley. It was so hard to judge things for size, there was nothing to compare it to!

Inside the 'Ice Palace'. It requires the utmost concentration to be an idiot at this altitude..

They even make Cola!

You don't normally see this kind of view unless you're flying

A rather happy looking avalanche shelter:

Is that a Jewish Rabbit? (Borat laugh.gif )

Down in our hotel in Zürich. That was an awesome city!

The morning rush:

One month's driving:

Our plane in Zürich:

These were everywhere!

I didn't expect to see this at the gate next door:

In our seats for the trip home:

Sunset over Ukraine:


Home at last! Nearly..


Thanks for looking winkyy.gif

What was the aeroplane you saw flying in the Swiss mountains? Junkers or something?
