Onwards & upwards!Onwards & upwards!Onwards & upwards!

.....puff puff puff
St.Gotthard Pass, over the Alps... & it's ALL uphill :D The air is noticeably thinner & one quickly learns the advantage of having a jacket "handy" & not packed so far away it'll take an hour to find it. Although shorts & t-shirts in the snowy mountains look great in photos, heh-DUH.
I prefer the pass but this doesn't imply I suffer from Claustrophobia. The Gotthard Tunnel is about 17 km long & isn't my idea of scenic or relaxing travel. Been there done that, not much to say---it's a tunnel.
They serve an excellent braised donkey in these parts. It does not taste like chicken 😉 it tastes like a GREAT pot roast!
