So after lunch we make it into Switzerland and immediately notice a few things: the place is cleaner – a lot cleaner, the roads are smoother, all the lights work in the tunnels, there are no adverts littering the roadside, people drive more considerately, they do not honk at random, villages have a start and an end and numerous other details. One important one for us, is that there are layby’s, something distinctly missing in Italy. We make use of one and stumble upon an amazing glacial torrent, complete with sparkling rocks and deer prints in the soft glacial sands. (It was also cold enough to undertake cryogenics!) It also had some interesting advice on a sign in the layby, (You are near a hydro electric dam, if waters rise rapidly – run away.”
