We left Lindau on Friday morning and headed towards Locarno in Ticino, Switzerland. We stopped in Flims on the way and did the Flims klettersteig.

We were Sebas, Sam, Brendan and I. It was a sunny day and the ferrata although not hard was quite fun. I did it before in 2009 with a bunch of kiwis.

After returning to the car we drove to Locarno and camped near the river. We were a little dismayed to find that Herr Rehm who joined us in the evening had forgotten the tent pegs. However, with some cunning  we managed to get the tent setup using my canyoning rope and a bit of magic.
