The new all new Growler's holiday disasters thread

[GROWLER]

The disappointments were there waiting for me sadly, but all paled into insignificance by the sheer and almost unbelievale beauty of the country.
A total feast of sensory overload is the best way to describe Swizzyland. cloud9 

I was there 1970 for six months, and for two weeks in '74. You describe it well     

I'd luv to go on a whopper of an 'oliday there for several weeks  to explore a bit more like, but it's financially totally out of the question.
44 piggin' SF's for a 1 hour 10 mile return trip on a bus up to the foot of the Wetterhorn for a 'oofin' about for the afternoon...that's about 34 snotaroonies in Inglish like!
20 snots 'll get you a basic 1 course meal. Gunisee...if you like it,    werks out at about 6 squiddlies.

Talking of my walk in the foothills and shadow of that awesome and beautiful but fearsome looking Wetterhorn  was a sruggle tbh.
Don't know if being 6,500 feet up affects yer bellows like, but I was getting mighty puffed out far too quickly for comfort tbh.

When I was there for six months, that was convalescence, one of the reasons was what was described to me as the "thinner air" at 6,000ft, so yes, you would feel puffed out

Hence the "puffing and panting " option in my poll

'Kin GOOSED are the werds I'd use to best describe my condition after walking up 'ill for 2-4 minutes.
