Switzerland tour 2019


Gary Taylor

Recommended Posts

We travelled through lots of different tunnel designs.

 

These are a pair of the shorter ones.

 

The longest we went through was 13km long and one even had junctions inside where other tunnels met.

 

In one, Jude was driving to close behind me and warning messages flashed up telling her to back off.

It is amazing how the Swiss have constructed their roads where they have.

 

Here is a little video of one of the easier drives down the sound of a hillside.

Great music. Are you sure you've not just looped the video to show the same two hairpins  again and again.

I had to cut a lot of it out to fit the music.

Thanks Marcus.

I have some video stuck to the side....so to speak of driving through countryside etc. I may do a James Bond song for that.

 

Its not easy you know trying to put music to them.

 

I have loads of tunnel footage as some of them where fantastic.....leave it with me.

Here we are the morning after,

sat with a coffee , reflecting on a great adventure 

No it wasn’t all sweet and smelling of roses, with a couple of minor breakdowns and a major one with Jude’s engine. Not to mention the times we were “ temporarily unaware of our location “

But and a big But we met some fantastic people en route, that didn’t speak English but tried, as we were trying to speak french or german and we got by with a laugh and wave

Everywhere we went people, bikers and drivers waved, took pictures and enjoyed seeing the Westies 

So we’ve learned a few lessons for next time, and put a few more ideas in the pot

To sum up , I personally would like to thank all who came along, everyone who shared in our enjoyment home and abroad. 

And to Trina who supported me and encouraged me through the hiccups and despite being scared of heights had a go at every thing and really enjoyed the trip 

 

thank you one and all

 

niw to get to get the car ready for our next trip in 2 weeks 😁
