After we picked up our motorhome we drove in a very tentative manner on the wrong side of the road on the wrong side of the car to a safety house. Well you know it was really a van park within a short distance of everything including Aldi, petrol etc. It was almost the start of our first holiday row. You know the drill. Watch out....don't tell me how to drive etc etc. Anyway we sighed with relief to get parked and work out the technical difficulties. Believe me when you know it is going to be zero at night and the doona supplied is about as thick as a kleenex working out the heater is right up there with working out the toilet.
We left rainy Germany the next day and after one more night in some unmentionable place also raining we found ourselves climbing up the Alps into the snow and some of the most unbelievably beautiful mountain scenes we have ever been privileged to witness. there was such variety from greener than lime green valleys to snow capped mountain to the skinny rocky passes. We came out on the best camp ground ever. Just a little way out of St moritz we found bliss and didn't go any further. Camping overlooking the snow capped mountains with the sun shinning. We set up our little spot took out the chairs and table and stared at it all. We even ate dinner outside just looking. Well I was a little more emotional about it than Martyn but I guess that's women and men. No i couldn't live there for one reason only. I got heart palpitations due the altitude. Could hardly walk up the hill actually but I am sure it is easily acclimatised to.
