Day 6 Andrematt to Bergun

83 Miles, 8,600'

This is getting hard! Today was supposed to be easier, but the climbing estimate was off by 3,000'. We started up the Oberalppass first thing, followed by a long descent. Today we passed the headwaters of the Rhine on it's way to the North Sea, so presumably we have crossed some sort of continental divide.

Beyond that, a lot of up and down http://app.strava.com/activities/18069389 on some great roads. Overall not as busy traffic-wise, though we had one stretch that was crowded and included two long tunnels. Scary, but we were able to avoid a few others with back roads, though they usually added a bunch of climbing as you might expect.

Long day in the saddle; we're all pretty tired. Hearing thunder now finishing up these notes; hope it clears in the morning. Couple more random  photos:
