Leaving the Austrian Countryside
Drive a '60 Chevy down this without melting the brakes.
The picture says it all ..
Switzerland Castle
Enough to make your ears pop - Elevations were up and down
Night #30 - Dinner with some great friends
"A day crossing mountains, starting
with a long timed mountain climb on a narrow gravel track, followed by plenty
of steep climbs through dramatic scenery with stunning views, taking us from Austria
into Switzerland.
Ten miles out of town from here,
climbing a steep mountain pass, the engine throws off its fan blades,
destroying the water pump, which explodes internally. Doom and gloom for anyone, this close to Paris, particularly given Bill reckoned there was nothing left of car that remained unbroken. Coasting downhill, it looks as if its game-over. At the foot of the mountain sits the Alpine ski resort of Davos, and outside the town the first hotel you pass has a black tourer Model A Ford outside, parked as an exhibit, a sort of landmark to the entrance to Davos. The car has not moved for 12 years…. you simply couldn’t make this up, what a remarkable find."
