Sunday 28th October 2018

It was still raining this morning so after servicing the van at Giswil we had little option to head north towards Lucern as the passes to the east and south of us were still closed due to snow.

We eventually cleared Lucern and headed east. We passed numerous lakes.

We then headed to the south aiming for the city of Chur.

As we approached Chur it became clear that there had been quite a heavy snowfall.

The roads however were very clear having been treated with anti freezing stuff.

When we arrived in Chur we parked at the Stellplatz (aire de camping cars). A few metres away from our parking place this river tumbles into the Rhine.

We'd got our big boots out so we could wander around in the snow without getting wet feet.

We wandered down to the banks of the Rhine. It is an impressive place with high cliffs on the other side of the river.

I asked the woman at the Stellplatz reception whether this kind of weather was usual here at this time of year. Apparently not. It had been T shirt weather in Chur until a couple of days ago!

The unseasonal snow has broken many branches off the trees round here.

Tree debris is littered all around.

Here's looking the other way towards where the tributary flows into the Rhine. The earlier picture of Ann was taken on the bridge above this waterfall

We wandered back to our van and turned on the heating. Two German registered vans have turned up and parked on either side of us. We hope to visit the historic centre of Chur tomorrow if the weather improves.

To day we travelled 122 miles (196 kilometres). We are at N46.86205 E9.50714
