Don't worry, I had plenty of time to take pictures of bread and coffee mugs. During the whole week, we had the choice between heavy snow and thick fog. Most of the time I wasn't able to see the other side of the valley. I can tell you that mountain is boring in these conditions. On the other hand, one day of good weather was enough to make up for it.
It's funny that you are the one who says this. In fact, there's been a tradition of dutch tourists coming to this particular valley for many years now. A guy coming from the Netherlands fell in love with the place and opened an hotel at least 40 years ago. It created a special relationship with dutch tourists. I always thought they were very brave to do such a long travel with their cars several times a year, as many of them do.
John, your picture is just perfect.

The Americans and Canadians here are scratching their collective heads.
Amsterdam to Lucerne - 8 hours
Chicago to Boston - 16 hours
Vancouver to Quebec City - 48 long hours
When Sarah and I were planning our UK trip, we were thinking we wouldn't have time to drive from London to the British west coast. I mean it was clear across the country. Then you look at the driving times and it's what we drive when we go to Indianapolis for the day to shop.
Awesome pics, though. I'd have to drive 3 days to get anywhere near mountains like that.

Lovely shot Denise!
Steve I can't believe that is the same as the cute blue eyed cat from a year ago or so...
Dustin, that looks really cool. Never knew they hang their eggs as well.
Well mechanics at my work sometimes drive back and forth in 2 days to Switzerland to do maintance on machines. It's actually about 10h drive from where I live, but never been even close to it. My girlfriend and I haven't decided our destination for this summer yet. We'll see where the weather will bring us.
Scratch it again if you realize the gas price over here is twice as highAnd if you're unlcuky and drive only a little too fast and get flashed... you better not be in the Netherlands or in Switzerland
