Brrr....it's cold up here


Day 5: Brrr....it's cold up here

The day started as early as the others and so we left our “hotel” at 7 o’clock in the morning and drove to Immensee, where we visited a gymnasium.
We were served a great breakfast and afterwards the students had to rate our cars on a scale of 1-10, depending on how much they overall like them.
The SunCar placed second closely behind the ZeroTracer. The SunCar also took the winner of the  “ride your bike to school” competition for a little spin. The smile on the kids face, after getting out of the car, once again showed us that we are involved in a great project.

Leaving Immensee we drove to Stansstad. Here the city welcomed us and we enjoyed a nice buffet in a hotel close to our charging position. Most people used the good WIFI connection to update the Blogs and Facebook profiles.
If the SunCar ever breaks down...

We then set of towards Innertkirchen where we charged our cars at KWO. KWO is an electricity company with a huge hydro power plant. We even got a tour to the turbines, which was really interesting, but very loud.

After the guided tour it was time for our cars to face their next real challenge. We had to climb the Sustenpass (from 700m to 1800m). The weather was freezing and it had just rained/snowed a couple of hours before.

The SunCar mastered this challenge with no problems. In fact, once again it showed the agility and power of a true sports car.

At the hotel we enjoyed a tasty dinner and a punch to keep us warm.
It looks like, that we will share our room with some other wavers. We might cuddle up to keep ourselves warm through the night…brrrr it’s cold up here!
