SWTIZERLAND

Driving through Swtizerland was really fun - we got to see a lot of very amazing landscape, buildings etc. Drove through lots of tunnels~stayed at some nice bed and breakfast. There are lot of churches, every village has some, so lots of photos of churches. There were also some really old houses. SCENIC is the word for this blog.

St. Gotthard Tunnel Switzerland

The St. Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland is the second longest road tunnel in the world. It runs from Göschenen in the north to Airolo in the south, and is just under 16.4 kilometres (10.5 miles) in length below the St. Gotthard Pass.
