SWITZERLAND 16 September – 17 September 2011 (Bernina Pass, St Moritz)

Salut (Swiss-German)!

We made the drive up the Bernina Pass, which is 2,328m above sea level and in the Swiss-Italian part of this gorgeous country. This whole area was just breathtaking, from the beautifully manicured houses and gardens, to the clear rushing rivers, the flouro green grass and the incredible mountains on every side of us! We also really loved seeing the cows here, who all have bells on them and look so healthy haha! We drove through the highest part of the pass and headed back down towards St Moritz.
St Moritz is Switzerland’s original winter wonderland, it attracts celebrities, royalty and the filthy rich, and we could see why. This was such a lovely little town, with a perfect lake right in the middle and expensive looking cars everywhere haha! We left St Moritz after having a look around and heading down the mountain. We found a little rest area right next a river on the mountain and stayed here the night (we had to ignore the warning sign about freak waves of water from the hydro plant above haha). We had a fire on the rocks next to the river which was lovely too! Switzerland, as little as we have seen, has really been so magnificent  and we would really love to come back one day and see more! We are heading towards Innsbruck, where it should be a little warmer! J
