Traveling to Europe remains difficult according to recent news reports. Sigh. And it is 97 degrees here with about 90 percent humidity.
I love visiting Europe. Say, would you like to take a virtual trip there with me right now? As I'm writing this, I'm wondering which place to choose. I truly can't think of a single place I havn't enjoy.
Hmm.

Let's go to--someplace cool... Grimsel Pass, the only above ground road north. There is another way, which I did not see. It is a thirty five mile tunnel. Totally amazing achievement, but a boring way to cross the Alps leading north to Lucern, Switzerland. As it happens, my bus was one of the last to take this road across for the winter. Owners of the buildings at the top boarded their windows, protecting their business from the coming winter as we arrived.

On the south side, we drive on this road, Talk about switchbacks!
At several points, the front of the bus hung over the road while the independent tires turned, sifting the vehicle sideways.
Seriously, the length of the bus should not have been able to make that 180, but there it was. We screamed, oooed, and aaahed.

Midway up this mountain. Yeah, this is only midway! Look at the road zigging below.
Okay, I know, look at the mountains instead.
Either way be amazed .

In case you didn't quite understand this the 180 zigging extreme nature of this road, here is another view.

There was one place across the road, where we could climb to the peak.
From there, I took the pano below.
Check out that sky!

The last part of our view was of these climbers scaling the mountain.
Can you see them. One is a spotter at the rock ledge near the bottom. The other is wearing blue and is nearing the top.

Halfway down the north side of this mountain is this swaying walk bridge. I wanted to stop and walk it, but there sadly wasn't time. I'll have to go back.
Its a 20-20 year!
