We didn’t quite finish the intended route, but we did see a good deal of beautiful Switzerland. This rowing trip pretty much marks the end of our holiday ‘on foot’. We’re now having what Nicky considers is ‘a proper holiday’ and heading to Brig in the Rhone valley for some sun and chilling (here now, blogging from a pub). There’s a campsite near which I loved as a kid, it’s almost like a water based theme park. We’ll get the bus there tomorrow and I’ll let you know if it lives up to my memory.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever had room service. Guess how many waffer thin, tiny slices of bread I got to wash down all this meat and cheese? Four!

Tastey though, we saved some of the meat for tommorrow’s fishing trip.

We stayed at the Berghaus on the banks of Lake Oeschinensee last night. Only realised this morning that there was un-secured wireless internet coming out of this rather ornate building next door. So we grabbed the table nearest (left of picture) and have been boozing/blogging all morning :)

There’s a load of sculptures along the lakeside path, I was taken by this one because I thought it looked a lot like me!

Here’s a shot of Nicky climbing the last little bit to the top of the pass. Then her on top, pity there wasn’t much of a view, I imagine behind her towards the Blüemlisalp group would be pretty special. It started to rain soon after we reached the top, so we headed straight down.

The people who built these ladders put a little bench at the top for a little sit down after, good lads :)

You know you’re on a good route when the path is littered with chains and ladders to help you get up. Not sure if Nicky feels the same way ;)

Climbs don’t get much steeper than this, 1000m of ascent in just over one map mile, felt like pretty much straight up!

I don’t normally blog about the hotels we stay at, but this place is definetly worthy of a mention. Not only was it the nicest place yet, but also the cheapest - 55 Francs (£30) for bed, breakfast and evening meal.

The room was upstairs of a big barn, underneath was the cheese making and cow milking room. Didn’t need a wake up call in the morning when the cows came for a milk!

As the stay was so cheap, we felt we had to pay our way by getting stuck into some lager hell!

Easy day today, Nicky needed a bit of time off after yesterdays excitement. Just climbed up 400m towards the next pass and stopped at a lovely little Berghaus in Bundalp.
