Day 4: Dallenwil.

So today's mission was Dallenwil. The drive was long, but the reward was great. The setup was 20chf each, for 4 runs up a gondola (a cable car) to the top of the hill. As we were on our way up it began to drizzle, however, this did not dampen our stoke which fizzing beneath the surface. The top section of the hill was super sketchy, blind hairpins on uneven ground, with 50 m drops on the side of the road. The last third of the hill was great. You were able to see round the corners, but the road was yet again Swiss narrow.
We hadn't got half way down the road, when our mate Yoshi popped his shoulder. As he was sliding his puck got stuck in some uneven ground wrenching his arm from his socket. He was luckily driven down the mountain to a doctor at the bottom of the hill. The doctor couldn't manage to put it back and from there he was driven to the hospital. It was here that we waited about 4 hours for him to be discharged. Most of the time was spent waiting for Discovery Health back in South Africa to grant him the money to pay for the fees.
