Well I could keep adding pictures.

We are leaving Como early 8.45 , Graham and Pauline are going on the old route over the St Gottard Pass to the Sustenpass, Phillip  and Helen going via Gottard tunnel and auto routes.

I have been looking forward to this since we arranged the trip.

It was absolutely magnificent,amazing,fabulous,great almost emotional , it was a wonderful drive, roads virtually empty apart from motor bikes,sports cars and cyclists.

whilst driving through the Gottard and Sustenpass temperatures dropped to 8 degrees C .

Stoped for several picture and a brew with lunch.

What a place to drive, the Porsche an absolute dream,twisting,turning ups and downs, brilliant,could have drove it again straight away.

A wonderful drive, almost speechless,well almost.

Only  five and a half hours with stops of at least one and a half, didn’t have to drive a full belt, just took the whole experience in, have been very lucky to have driven the Alps eight times, it is always the same experience, FANTASTIC.

Got to Grindelwald still sunny, so far the whole trip with the roof down, more pleasant temperature 24 degrees C in the mountains.

Quick shower and change for taking the cable car ride up to the first stage,about 30 minutes trip up. Super views to the Eiger had some cloud cover over the top,still stunning to see this.

Staying at the Jungfrau Lodge , a ski resort lodge five minutes from town centre,not bad good meal the still able to site outside overlooking the  Eiger.

A very picturesque town, this place is of route, one way in one way out.
