Mountain Bus
... home for the evening. We make a steady climb and arrive beating the Swiss time of 1+30 by a 5 minute margin. We seem to keep up with the uphill times pretty well but the downhill times just are not cutting it with the heavier packs. I think they time them with day packs, no packs, or steroidal old ladies! We manage to check in with no English spoken and she writes down the dinner time of 6:00 so we are set. We soon realize that there is no shower here so ...
