You are reminding me of an experience I had in the Alps a few years back Leenia. I have not tried to repeat it though. I had a three week gig in a hotel at the ski resort of Chateaux D'Oeux, somewhere in the south of Switzerland. In the afternoons, I occasionally drove out to Friebourg to do a bit of busking and have a look around. One afternoon, I thought I would take a more "interesting" route home. A geographically challenged alanabit found himself in the Jura Pass. Now I don't recall how high it was or any of the exact details about it. However, I can state with some conviction that it was not a good place for the sort of wimp, who gets vertigo standing on top of a step ladder. All I can recall about the "interesting" drive back down again, is that I have never before or since spent so long driving my car in second gear. When the locals tell you to stick to the main roads, they really do know what they are talking about!
