27 July 1988

Grindewald, Switzerland

The next day we drove around via the Grimsel and Nuffenen passes, arriving in a wet afternoon. We had thought about the car train through to Kandersteg, but assumed it would be as expensive as in the UK ... It would not be for another 20 years before we would look at it again and change our minds.
Setting up our tent in camp site by the river, we headed into town on the traditional routine to check out the weather, and discover if we had made a bad move changing locations. The prognosis we good, and this was only a localized rain storm (as we came to understand, it tends to happen a lot in the afternoon here).
