CanadaWe had a very long day. Caught our plane in Zurich at 7am after getting up at 4:30 am. Kim and Bob went to Steamworks in Vancouver for lunch and then to the Mountain Equipment Coop to look around. Kim left for home on the 99 bus and Bob hung out at YVR. Bob was home and in bed around midnight.
SwitzerlandWe woke to the sound of bells which ring loudly every 15 minutes here. We had a nice breakfast in Grächen and said goodbye to Gwilym and Geoff who were driving out that morning. We walked around a little and came across a neat little cemetery with everything in rows behind the church. Lots of things are very well maintained, organized and well laid out in Switzerland. Kim bought a souvenirRead more
SwitzerlandWe stayed at the Hotel Tannenhof last night. Kim recognized the hotel that our family stayed at years ago and had a flashback at breakfast. We had breakfast in Zermatt and said bye to Severine and Hamish who were heading home today. Geoff, Gwilym, Kim and Bob then started walking towards St Niklaus. It was a long walk and very hot. We stopped along the way at several places. While walking throughRead more

ItalyHere are more pictures from today. The glacial lakes were a striking teal colour; a lot like you see in the Yukon.
ItalyWe left Refugio Ferraro at 6 am as Hilary needed to get home. We walked up through a beautiful valley and over Alpe Mase (2400 m). After a lot of climbing we came to a view of the Matterhorn from the Italian side. Cervinia the townsite was far below in the valley. We caught the gondola to the Refugio Guide del Cervino and will be staying here tonight. Tomorrow we go down the mountain to Zermatt.
ItalyWe had a very nice morning with brilliant skies and very clear air. The mountains looked really close. We spent the morning walking up to Col della Salza (2890 m) and then down to Stafal where we had drinks and lunch. We then took two lifts up to Colle di Bettaforca at 2672 meters. We then walked down to the Resy hut. There was some ugly construction of a reservoir along this portion. The hut wasRead more
