Day 8: Grimselpass, Switzerland

Climbed 1850m to an elevation of 2165m today. (It's cold up here, and very beautiful.) This ride demolished me. For dinner I had two pork cutlets, vegetables, a plate of fries, a pan of eggs, a pastry, and beer.

Day 7: Interlaken, Switzerland

Passed through Rosenlaui, two weeks earlier than anticipated due to weather-related plan changes. (We'll spend the next two weeks heading east, back to Munich.) This is Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen valley.

Day 6: Meiringen, Switzerland

Meiringen, birthplace of the meringue. This is the building next to the hotel we nearly stayed at... as it burned down.

Day 5: Bludenz, Austria

Day 4: Innsbruck, Austria

Rainy day. We went to see the sights in Innsbruck.

Day 3: Innsbruck, Austria

I love the color of snowmelt in the Inn river.

Day 2: Kreuth, Germany

A sudden late-afternoon thunderstorm forced us to take cover at a tiny hotel. This is the view from my room after the clouds passed.

Day 1: Munich, Germany

Arrived safely this morning with Piaw, Lisa, Cynthia, and Kekoa. We took the subway to downtown Munich.
