Stranded in St Moritz 11-11-12
A few days ago people were winding me up that I only managed to ride my bike a few miles from Interlaken to Grindlewald which can't be more than 30 miles or so. Well if that was a poor show then what they going to say about today when my bike never even moved off its stand!!!
I got up this morning and looked outside only to see the whole area covered in snow ...
Sunshine and snow in the Alps

Sondrio, Tirano and the Bernina Express
... into a few boutique shops saw us leave with a few locally made goods. We hop in the car for the last leg of our Italy drive - the drive to Sondrio is only 70k but takes about 70 mins and apart from the time spent in tunnels the drive is very scenic and Northern Italy quite appealing.
