Chur and the train trip to Morges
... side. Now a race against time it's 11:49 - check out for the hotel is 12noon and the train goes to Morges at 12:16. We get to the hotel at 12:01 get our bags and board the train at 12:15 - now that is to the minute timing! We have to make a change at Zurich and Camille had only downloaded up to the 12.09 train, so with a bit of guess work using the previous train times, we managed to make the connection with about 8 minutes to spare!

Having satisfactorily captured the procession and taken a few ...
Barfussweg
... turns out that tomorrow, two herds of cows would be returning from their summer grazing in the high Alps! We thought we had missed this annual event because we had seen cows grazing in the fields near our campsite. We were super excited that we were in time to witness this important event. The decision to bring the herd down from the Alps is made about a day or two before by the head farmer so there isn’t a lot of forewarning. In ...
