Zuoz, Switzerland

This morning, we had to adjust our travel plans due to poor weather conditions across the entire Tirol region, expected to last for the next four days.

Instead, we opted to head west towards Zouz in the Engadin valley of Switzerland. It turned out to be a great choice, with the occasional rays of sunshine and glimpses of blue sky greeting us upon our arrival.

What could have been a 3-hour drive stretched into a 6-hour adventure as we stopped to explore a few picturesque villages along the way. One such stop was Tarasp, home to a charming castle perched atop a hill. Unfortunately, the castle was closed for visits on Mondays, and so were all the local restaurants. However, the kind owner of the Schlosshotel Chastè took pity on us and graciously served us cappuccinos in a 500-year-old room that was once the living space of a farmhouse, now part of this exclusive hotel. It was an unexpected, nice guesture - not typical Swiss.

Our destination for tomorrow is Locarno where we meet Bernhard & Elisabeth for dinner.Читать далее
