Good job on the video.  I enjoyed it.  What were those animals, beavers, giant squirrels, or what?

I didn't watch the video yet, but I'd guess marmots (a kind of squirrel). This is the American Yellow-bellied Marmot (really!) which lives above 10,000 ft:

Correct.

They call them 'Marmali' here. Saw loads today up on the mountains [url=http://livecam.lkw.li/]here[/url]. They make a cry like an eagle when threatened - by Buchan!

Nice beaver!

Thanks I just had it stuffed.

Here's a chart of fines:

Almost certainly a fine...

Probably a couple of hundred chuffs.

Just discovered that it is against the law to drive a windscreen-less car without a helmet in Switzerland... Fortunately it was a Crate owner who informed me and not the BiB...

Any idea what the penalty is for that?

Talking from experience, the Swiss police don't seem very aware of that law.

Funny you should say that... I've just been up the Zurichberg playing 'chase me' with a Vette!

There are some advantages to living here...

Damn. I want to go back, right now, this evening!

A couple of videos of this trip are online - filmed and edited on Bart's iPhone.

A [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTRMQKhprhY]short (1min) video[/url] and a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wjy7hG-FdQ]longer 7 minute video[/url] featuring most of the footage from the shorter vid plus a lot more...
