Rain has fallen hard in this valley that Honza now walks, but soon the weather will break and he will be able to make some good flights before the winner arrives in Monaco. After such a stuggle against such a vicious stomach bug he has finally gotten strong and is moving well. He made a great flight in windy conditions over Chur, which is good as the Arosa valley would have been hateful to walk down. also Chur would have been a tough walk, although the city itself has an impressive old part of town, a bit midevil. Now Honza heads for a couple of big passes before getting to the Eiger and we are enjoying this incredible adventure. This is the only way to experience the ALPS!
Lastly it was the Swiss independance day last night and there were so many fireworks. Such a celebration I want badly to leave the race and join the party. Flims was going off with much celebration. A shame to be sleeping in the car when we should have been dancing and drinking the night away. The rain this AM has sobered our thoughts of festivals and walking has ended the romance of the sunny weather, but it will return and now that Honza is well we will charge onward as far and as fast as we can.
