We didn't actually see any accidents or anything but we did slow down quite a bit while in the tunnel. So now we'll all take a quick break, call the apartment owners to let them know we're cutting close and take a potty break...and then get on our way. Only about an...
Finally going in
We're waiting at the lights to go into the Gotthard tunnel...finally! It should be smooth sailing from here. We'll make another switch on drivers after this since all the stop and go has killed S's legs...so we'll make a quick pit stop at the first place we find after...
At the Gotthard tunnel
Well, it's almost 1 pm and we're not yet to Locarno. We've got 102 km left according to TomTom which should only take us about an hour...but we're a few km from the start of the tunnel with full traffic jam. The problem is that they regulate the number of cars that go...
Just about half way…
So we're on our way to Locarno and are about half way there. Our navigation system says we have a little less than 3 hours left which would get us there at about 1 pm. With any luck, this will actually turn out to be true and we can perhaps get in a bit of climbing in...
Getting ready to go
We've packed up our climbing gear and most of the stuff for the dog. I've also started packing my travel and overnight bags but hubby is waiting until we go to bed....which will be very shortly. We're planning to get up at about 5 am and hope to be on the road by 6....
The trip is almost here
This time next week, we will already have been on the road for a while, headed to Locarno, Switzerland. I think we're all really looking forward to the trip now although it will be interesting to see if any of us still remember how to climb since it's been nearly a...
Making plans for Easter
Last year we went to Locarno, Switzerland, over the Easter holiday. We spent time in the midst of beautiful scenery and were really able to just relax and enjoy ourselves over the four short days that we were there. Before we left there, we said we wanted to make it a...
Is spring here yet?
Today the weather here is absolutely wonderful. It could be a bit warmer I guess but the sun is shining, there aren't too many clouds in the sky and it makes you really feel that spring is just around the corner. I know it's much too soon to begin thinking that the...
A hurricane in Europe??
After not being there on Wednesday, we were eager to find out what had been happening at the farm. Hubby decided to take the day off of work to help out a bit which I was quite thankful for since my stress level was getting a bit high.We headed out to the house in the...
Off to the Rheingau
Since New Year's eve is tomorrow, we decided we would go on a mission into the Rheingau wine-growing region and see what we could find to accompany dinner and hopefully pick up some nice bottles of sparkling wine (sekt) as well. We did a bit of research online and...
