1991 Simplon Pass Switzerland Drive Through and Stop for Scenery
An unforgettable drive into the Swiss Alps and I have this video to show for it. I stopped to take this video and all the Jungfrau range's glory. My car was an Opel Astra, I think.
This trip was made possible because my mentor Frank Rigley 'pushed' me into driving in Europe, something I thought was impossible back in those young adulthood days. I was so happy I took up his suggestion and the drive through Germany to Switzerland (into the Jung Frau mountain ranges) was nothing short of unforgettable !
The roads were and are winding, so some experience and skill is required of the driver. I was all of 29 years of age then.
Now, as I approach 56 in a matter of days, all these old videos are all the more precious to me.
Enjoy !
