Having come down with a cold Russ was not in a hurry to start the day. He
is much improved over yesterday fortunately!
After a late breakfast we headed for a shopping center where we were told
we could find a laundromat. The directions were perfect and the machines even
had instructions in English - the operation was a total success.
After completing the laundry business we headed up a nearby valley toward
the Matterhorn. It is a beautiful drive with small villages all along the way.
The houses and business typically have a mass of flowers in front and
decorating the balconies. The area is apparently one very big ski attraction in
the winter months - summer tourists are a bonus.
The road is a decent two lanes all the way - not a narrow two lanes like a
few others have been. It seems to continue on through the mountains into
Switzerland.
The Matterhorn is at the head of the valley and a beautiful sight as you
drive along. Clouds covered the top so we never did get a real good view of the
peak.
On our return we stopped at a small attraction in the village where we are
staying. Someone has built replicas of many of the local castles - quite a job.
