Dusty: Arrived Oberwald
Dusty: 3-1/2 h by 5 trains and a gondola, but I think only around 35 kilometers the way the crow flies from Muerren..
Dusty: Bike rental dude here completely forgot my reservation until i showed him the email on my iPhone
Dusty: He has a road bike - an older heavier 18 speed road bike ...
Dusty: no problemo

Dusty: Hotel Alpenhof room is large but very dated, a bit worn (not awful) but seems to have no heating or ac at all...
Dusty: There's a thermostat on the wall, you can set it, but it always resets to the current temperature and does nothing else i can see
[Turned out the floor was heated]
Dusty: there is an extra blanket...

Dusty: Windy and chilly here, cold air falling off the mountains on us...
Dusty: supposed to be nicer the next couple of days....

Dusty: I think that is Dom down the Rhone valley in that pic..

[It later turned out the prominant peak was Weisshorn with ZinalRothorn to the left, I had to use Peakvisor]

Other pic shows the bottom and top of Grimselpass

Kent:  Very near you Dusty
Kent:  Was the most peaceful place I've ever been
Kent:  One of the best stakes too after my long hike in the rain
Kent:  Showed up almost too late but they squeezed me in to a table with people already
Kent:  Was hard to communicate because much less English there
Kent:    I doubt weisshorn, unless I missed something
Kent:  It's always got a lot of snow on the top
Kent:  (4500+ meters)
