We left Tuby and headed across the border to Switzerland, to spend the last days of our holidays with Esther and JP in their beautiful new apartment in Lenzerheide.

The views from their balconies in all directions are stunning and because the weather has been perfect, mid 20’s, it has been lovely sitting outside admiring the vista.

But it hasn’t been all sitting and admiring, Esther and JP have taken us on a few walks/hikes around the area. Yesterday we went to the very picturesque Alp Flix. Everywhere we walked we had views of mountains, it was stunning.

It was so nice to back in the mountains, as we had missed the Austrian mountains while we were in Tuby. Although Rhonda’s hayfever flared again! Too much grass!

We stopped at a gorgeous little Alpine Chalet for lunch. We had Quarkpizokels and it was delicious.

We came home for a rest, just so that Greg could go on squirrel watch, and yes, he saw one. That night we went out for a great dinner in Lenzerheide, and Claudie and Sandra and little baby Lio came too. It was great to see Claudie and Sandra again, and to meet Lio for the first time. Dinner was again fabulous. We had Hacktatschli with Kaitoffelstoch. A take on Swedish / Swiss meatballs. Delicious!

Today’s hike was a bit more of a challenge! Yesterday it was fairly flat but today was UP! It was again mid 20’s so quite warm but it still was a lovely “walk” with some great views and of course listening to those cows with their bells ringing!

We again had a wonderful lunch and again Claudie, Sandra and Lio came to join us. This time Lio was awake, so we were lucky enough to have a cuddle of our “Swiss grandson”.

Lunch was again fabulous, we had Rosti and it was delicious, it’s one of favourite Swiss meals.

So with our tummies full, we made the trip down the mountain, walking again! It was a great day.

Thank you Esther and JP for putting up with us again. We love coming to stay with you and your apartment is fabulous.

So tomorrow is D Day, departure day. We are on an evening flight so will be leaving our lovely Lenzerheide and taking Tony to Milan airport to start the trek home. It has been fabulous, Tony has travelled about 9500 kms, and our legs have walked many many kms!

So until next year, by the way our flights are booked for 2024 already, its goodbye from Europe. Hope you have enjoyed our travel stories. Looking forward to seeing everyone when we get home.

Lots of love

Greg and Rhonda
