Oct 25 - Zernez, Switzerland

Had breakfast with the family. Packed up and headed out. The high mountains blocked the sun for awhile, but as soon as it came out I had to change into my shorts. Very difficult cycling and pushing to conquer Offenpass. But when I saw the Swiss colors flying on top I cried for joy.

Had lunch on top and then did some fast coasting down into the beautiful national park. Cycled slowly through the unspoilt forests and mountains, and after a final fast fling, landed in Zernez at 2:30 pm. Took a nap in the warm sun and then checked into the youth hostel. Had supper, wrote and retired.
