Some of you like to see where the travelers stay. The group stayed in Celerina/Schlariga. It is next to St. Moritz. It is a cheaper version….We are the cheap girls…Cultural Moment: St Moriz was the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism (in 1864) and has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Nevertheless, the group is staying at the town next door at the “All in One Hotel” or as they like to refer to it “The Three Little Pigs Hotel”. It has three of everything. Three beds, three chairs, three plates….
On Saturday, the group caught the bus and rode to their first hike. The group is having issues with opening doors. You push on the doors not pull. This has led to some shall we say misunderstandings such as beating on the train doors and being convinced one is locked in the bathroom stall. Our first hike was around the lake and to the pizzeria for lunch.
What is the language spoken in Switzerland? An important thing to know when yelling for help to get out of the bathroom.
Switzerland is a multilingual country with four national languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. The predominant language varies by regions of the country, called cantons. German is the most spoken language in the country, and is widely spoken in the central region of the country. French is more predominant in the west near the French border, while Italian is more common in the south near the Italian border. Romansh is mainly spoken in the canton of Graubünden in southeast Switzerland. We are in an Italian area.
After lunch, the four hiked back to The Three Little Pigs.
that’s quite the view for 3 little pigs. I would bring a tent and sleep by the lake. How was the hike? Do they do summer activities since it is known for winter tourism?
Everyone has all the gear and name brands. The hike was hard as it is all in the sun thus George and Betty
