Title: Cruising the Swiss Alps (Photos!) Post by: Luftkraft on September 06, 2010, 23:22:02 pm Last weekend, my girlfriend and I did a two days cruise through the swiss alps. The weather was beautiful and it was a fun drive, even as a co-pilot only (due to a withdrawal of my drivers licence). But my girl did a good job driving, while the Ghia was struggling a little with the lack of fresh air at an altitude of more than 2400 meters above sea level (7800 ft.).
Some pics... the famous Tremola road (the old Gotthard route) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/4965505476_5beaaeda74_b.jpg) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/4965504694_bd96d55ece_b.jpg) (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/4964904471_6b533eff7f_b.jpg) on the Gotthard pass (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/4965502444_14492bffc6_b.jpg) in front of... (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/4964909325_b2925ffb48_b.jpg) ...the Hotel Furkablick, an old hotel that has been left untouched for decades. The interior is breathtaking, unfortunately it isn't open to the public. There's a small Café only.

Post by: Luftkraft on September 06, 2010, 23:30:51 pm On sunny days like these, there are always lots of classic cars on the road. Virtually every two minutes there was some vintage tin passing by.
