Wet in the Dolomites!

So, once again our apologies for not keeping this blog as up to date as you, and indeed we, would like! Following Chamonix and the french Alps we headed across the border into Switzerland.
After studying the map we decided our best option was to park up in Visp, and travel by train up the valley to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn. After realising there was no campsite, and consoling ourselves in a pub for a few hours, we woke to find ourselves in a bin! But a bin with a view mind!
Slightly worse for wear we caught the return train to Visp and on to Grindelwald and the Eiger. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side so after one night under canvas we decided to head back to our trusty vehicles. After a brief encounter with a car park barrier, we propped it back up and scarpered as quickly as our 50cc's would allow!

So rested and dried out, we're off again, next stop Slovenia! The time is ticking too, as we are aiming to meet our friend Kamila in Prague.
