 After lunch the road steeply descended over the most atrocious bumps. By now Snow had two bulges and a thumb tack in his front tyre. Discussion - should we remove the tack or let it remain? It remained. My back tyre which had perished badly was starting to split and the tube could be discerned, the tyre somewhat deflated. With a bit of luck it would last the distance. The back pedal brake also was definitely less predictable. I figured the old bike might just see me through another trip, but it was strongly hinted from Steve that repairs would be expected if I was to accompany them on any further trips. Some have no faith. After lunch the road steeply descended over the most atrocious bumps. By now Snow had two bulges and a thumb tack in his front tyre.

-Back onto the bitumen we pedalled about 7 miles back to Wiseman'Ferry. Trailing behind because of an urgent stop due to over indulgence of dried apricots, I had to double pedal to catch up. I felt there was more need for innovation. If gears are now permitted, why not motor assisted pedalling? Yes, a moped, I must look into it. I did notice frowns from the gear freaks when I voiced my opinion.+Back onto the bitumen we pedalled about 7 miles back to Wisemans Ferry.

 Following an enquiry from the Club, the N.P. & W.L. Service's Hawkesbury District office has replied that it has become necessary to close portion of the Girrakool- Myron Brook - Patonga trail where it crosses the "safety zone" of the Kariong Rifle Range. This portion of the track is to be relocated and new signposting erected. However, it is emphasised that, when this is done, it will be vital that walkers stay on the trail where it crosses the Rifle Range Safety Zone.

 At Milan he got involved with the musical world; naturally, and that doesn't involve us here. His wife was getting worried and brigands were everywhere, although Uncle Felix not once mentions anything like that occurring or even threatening. At Milan he got involved with the musical world; naturally, and that doesn't involve us here.

-At Coma (via coach 30 miles or so) he met a fellow adventurer he called Willhelm who was an Italian, and they decided to walk together along Lake Como which is incredibly beautiful now, so with absolutely no carriages on the small footway, it must have then been paradise. They took a peasant's boat and had a bludge day, and in a squall Uncle-Felix saved the other chap from drowning. (Mendelssohn died without knowing that the chap was Guiseppe Garibaldi. But Garibaldi in his "Essays" mentions this fact.) Twenty miles a day they walked, sleeping in farmhouses, and eating fruit. As for them washing, it never rates a line. Willhelm used to whistle lots of Brazilian tunes because he had spent some time there, and he must have taught some of them to Uncle Felix because his Italian Symphony has more Brazilian melody than Italian. (No one will ever know whether or not).+At Coma (via coach 30 miles or so) he met a fellow adventurer he called Willhelm who was an Italian, and they decided to walk together along Lake Como which is incredibly beautiful now, so with absolutely no carriages on the small footway, it must have then been paradise.

-Saying farewell at the Abbey of Piona, Felix walked along to Chiavenna and was guest of the Countess Julie Guicciardi. She had a dwarf who kept on trying to pull his pants down and the Italians thought it highly amusing. Guests can't complain too much. (After all, she was Beethoven's Dream Creature that he dedicated his "Moonlight Sonata" to.) He refused to stay more than one night, and he left for the Spluga Pas with a guide. At the top he bade farewell to this "admirable companion" and was free in his beloved mountains. All his life he had been a lover of nature, and with money behind you, it is no effort to indulge in your fancies.+Saying farewell at the Abbey of Piona, Felix walked along to Chiavenna and was guest of the Countess Julie Guicciardi.

-Down the other side he was in the German speaking world and found. a young boy who could take him to Hinterheim along a road, and thence over tracked alpine passes into Waldhaus. The Rabiusa River he had to cross and the guide remarked that he had never seen a circumcised man before. They slept in mountain huts twice, and the rest were in the valleys, where of course hospitality was always given. Anyone who travelled could always does in the barn. Uncle Felix found out that "cows wear their bells to bed", and wrote so to his Aunty Becky.+Down the other side he was in the German speaking world and found. a young boy who could take him to Hinterheim along a road, and thence over tracked alpine passes into Waldhaus.

-Early this century, the German Publishing House "Sontag" printed, a leather bound book with beautiful etchings on this part of the trip. A devotee of Mendelssohn walked the entire route and tried to go by Felix's unsatisfactory notes, in much the same way that Paddy PaIlin did in tracing Barralier's early Australian explorations. Some very high passes were attempted, Safienberg (2486 m), but there is doubt which of Piz Ault or Piz Terri he really climbed.. Some say it couln't have been done that summer because of the previous heavy snows in winter. Mendelssohn's diary misses a day and. he mentions only peaks that "look like the scene in my bedroom as a boy", which conveys nothing. But the Peaks here are incredibly beautiful and this part of Switzerland is to this day very unspoilt. I have all these names on maps and so they must be what he did.+Early this century, the German Publishing House "Sontag" printed, a leather bound book with beautiful etchings on this part of the trip.

 He always loved walking, and in his final illness mentioned this part of his walk in his delirium. If any South Australian person wishes to get a look at a copy, there is one in the University of Adelaide. The title is - "Mendelssohn, my Liaster on Tour", by Friederich Hoppel. He always loved walking, and in his final illness mentioned this part of his walk in his delirium.

-At Waldhaus he had to have his foot bandaged where he "fell a few days back", and the sprain took some days to heal. He borrowed some oils and painted a view of the area, which he gave to a local village smith in exchange for a dog whom he called Ricardo. A loveable dog that loved to be loved. This painting can be seen in the Art Gallery of neighbouring Liechtenstein's capital Vaduz. So he and Ricardo set off for the Sepias Pass, 2627 m, where bad luck set in because he met another party of Englishmen who drank until the early hours of the morning and wouldn't be quiet. The landlord told Uncle Felix to mind his own business. Nothing annoyed him more than noisy nights (I can sympathise with him), so early in the morning he went out to the stables and set free the horses of the Englishmen, and he raced off down to Elm in the next valley. In the panic, he left most of his food behind in the kitchen. (By the way, he was a fastidious eater whenever he had the chance, otherwise he could exist on nothing much at all. Fear of blood pressure that ran in the family would not be helped by this eating pattern.)+At Waldhaus he had to have his foot bandaged where he "fell a few days back", and the sprain took some days to heal.

-At Elm he decided to head up a foot track and escape the Britishers that would follow, and thus he climbed the Sardona Pass, 3056 m, and it nearly killed him, due to the fact that the ungrateful dog pinched his food and ran back towards the valley they had just come from. He sat all day on top of this pass, and in his "Letters to his Wife", published by Vogelmensch, said that it was on this hill that he wrote one of his loveliest songs "The Moon". He always had to have peace to write and in his writings he said that "I always envied Gottliob's ability to write under enormous difficulty. I could write nothing travelling on a coach." He was referring to Mozart composing "The Magic Flute" overture non-stop while travelling from Vienna to Prague. How he would have made out of Gustav Mahler composing his 5th Symphony whilst playing polo, would be unthinkable. By the way, Mozart was always "Gottlieb" and only later became known as "Amadeus'. (Gottlieb and Amadeus translate into English as God's Love. Editor.)+At Elm he decided to head up a foot track and escape the Britishers that would follow, and thus he climbed the Sardona Pass, 3056 m, and it nearly killed him, due to the fact that the ungrateful dog pinched his food and ran back towards the valley they had just come from.

 Talking down the Pass into the valley he fell into the Seez River and by the time he arrived in Weistannen he was exhausted and stayed that night and the one following in a farmhouse, and here he learnt that in the next town was an ex-pupil of his when he was in Hamburg. At Sargans he met up with her, and her husband was thrilled to meet the famous Mendelssohn, and here he stayed to "fatten up and rest until my strength recuperates. I am finding this tour very tiring and I miss my little Mitzi, and I know that she must be counting the days until my return." Talking down the Pass into the valley he fell into the Seez River and by the time he arrived in Weistannen he was exhausted and stayed that night and the one following in a farmhouse, and here he learnt that in the next town was an ex-pupil of his when he was in Hamburg.

 From here at Lake Constance he had to hurry, because in a letter to his publishers, "I am sorry for the delay but Monsieur Berlioz is very anxious and becoming a nuisance. Poor Berlioz had sent him a Symphony for approval, and in those days before photostats it had to be done by hand and only one copy had been made. Incidentally, Uncle Felix thought highly of Bach and Beethoven. Chopin's Mazurkas immature, Schubert's songs silly, Schumann passable, and Lizst too flamboyant. In fact he thought his works superior to everyone else. All of the latter were contemporaries and what a time it must have been, MUSICWISE. From here at Lake Constance he had to hurry, because in a letter to his publishers, "I am sorry for the delay but Monsieur Berlioz is very anxious and becoming a nuisance.

-He decided to change plans. He would headfor Ulm and float downstream on the Danube to Regensburg and go due north to Leipzig and home. It was to be a three day walk along the scenic Bavarian valleys to Ulm. The first night he made Waldsee and that night in St. Michaleskirche (one of the Baroquish Gems of Bavaria) he played the organ to "an appreciating silent audience", and to his amazement, after the performance, Prince Rudolph of Austria made himself known, he being the talented flautist that Beethoven admired (and wrote something for him, but I can't find out what?) Next morning he was given a coach by courtesy of the Hapsburgs and driven the 35 miles to Ulm. Nothing to write about the coach ride except for an interesting tit-bit that is of no importance whatsoever. The Prince's Father Confessor and Uncle Felix had a discussion on David and Goliath. According to the Bible, 11 Kings 21 19, it wasn't David. but an obscure soldier named Elhanan who killed Goliath. Mendelssohn had heard this from his grandfather and the priest didn't believe him until a Bible was produced.. (Neither did I. Editor.)+He decided to change plans.

 We followed down our little creek to find out if it were a tributary of Old Station Creek - flowing westward - or of Wiarborough Creek flowing north-east, It turned out to be a tributary of a tributary of Wiarborough, so we made up the ridge and followed its rather snake-like course in a general southerly direction so as to pick up the Wiarborough Road near its junction with Richlands/Wombeyan Caves Road.
