Ok – so im back from my wonderful trip… but I didn’t post anything during. Some of you may have been expecting it - but I did post the caveat below that there may not be a lot of PCs in those remote alpine huts. Heck, even one of the 3-star hotel’s public PC was "nicht-working.” Im almost surprised the Swiss have not yet implemented GPS/Wireless-APs on these alpine meadows for things like livestock-inventory, environmental tele-metrics, and general hiker web-access. Could easily add them to the bells the cows wear. Some of the village bars (yay!) and Tourist Info offices did offer web access for a fee. But in reality I didn’t have a lot of extra free time – and only checked my email real quick 2-3 times to check for updates from my relatives Id meet after the tour ended. As it was, I only sent out a handfull of postcards at the last 2 days! After all - they kept us very busy on these hikes, which were quite a workout!
BUT! Fear not – I did take some time to jot down some notes/thoughts/observations (paper and mentally) and will post up my postulations post-hastily… along with a few picts that everyone demanded last time. (Again, over 2000 to sort through). Stay tuned…
In the mean time... if youre interested in the itenerary we had, check out the http://www.alpinehikers.com/ website - I did the Berner Oberland Tour... amazing! Highly recommended. These guys know what they are doing and did an amazing job. Im trying to line up another for next year - Chamonix-Zermatt and Mont-Blanc tour!
