Passes, Tunnels and a Train Under the Mountain.

Today has been a great day. I have either been over or under mountains. I started in Italy with the classic Stelvio Pass just after breakfast and then it was down the other side and at some point I entered Switzerland and went over another pass before my trat to myself of a "train under the mountain". To be honest, it was no treat, 20km of holding onto my bike on a flat bed carriage scared it would fall over everytime we went round a corner. It was a mesh floor about 1mm smaller than my side stand foot. After this, it was up to Malbun the highest point in Liechtenstein for more coffee and some well deserved cake. Back down the same serous of bends and back into Switzerland over another 2 passes to my campsite at the bottom of Gotthard Pass. I arrived 30mins before reception open so I decided to ride Gotthard Pass and come back later. I got back, checked in and tent up minutes before the rain. Looks like yet another storm tonight...
