Just returned from a great euro trip, including France, Switzerland, Italy, and Belgium. Around 2100 miles in our recently purchased 981 Cayman S (that’s 3000 in 3 months already!).
Also saw a group of maybe 30 GTR's on the same train over, several of whom we then past a few days later on the Petite St Bernard.

Passes driven included:

Grimsell, Susten, Gottard, Nufenen, Grand St Bernard, Petite St Bernard, and Col de L’Iseran.

The Nufenen was a late change which meant we missed the Furka, but we really enjoyed it, as it flows much more than some of the others.

Great timing to coincide with the recent heat wave, which made the views even more spectacular. Can’t wait to try something similar in the future. Some photos from the trip.

Was I on the same 15:20 Eurotunnel as you yesterday?

I also saw a train load of GTR's on the Gotthard Pass as I just did 2330 miles in Europe!

That was the train I was on, so could well have been.

I thought as much, I pulled Into the customs queue behind you to admire the car which looked fantastic.

What day were you around Andermatt?

Thanks. Saw only one LHD 981 Cayman, and one RHD GTS Cayman (at Calais) the whole way round. We did Grimsell/Susten/Gottard on Monday, then onto Nufenen, etc Tuesday.

The GTRs were on the annual European tour of the GTROC.
