Stranded in St Moritz
Winter Alps Adventure
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!!!

We got amazing 360-degree views from the top and I was glad that we had made the little detour. We soon caught up with Rod and Megs again.
