...and drive onto a train to be carried through the Lotschberg Tunnel to Kandersteg, which is only a few miles from Adelboden, where we drove to a couple of years ago. The train was quite exciting, since the carriages are open (as you can see) and it’s completely pitch black in the tunnel. I though it would have been really exciting had we been in the Honda, until I wound the windows down and almost instantly choked to death due to the diesel fumes from the locomotive. So maybe not so exciting after all.
The remaining 700 miles of the journey are pleasant and uneventful. Judith’s dinky 1-series has proven to be an excellent and comfortable long-distance tourer and we arrive home at 9pm having driven a total of 1,442 miles at a reasonable 46mpg.
Considering that this was a very spur-of-the-moment holiday arranged after the extremely short-notice cancellation of our planned trip to Vancouver, it’s turned out really rather well.
