Monday 27 August
A free day today, well a free morning as we have Charly’s
famous walk around the village at 14:00. This is always great fun and we end up
back at the hotel for freshly baked apple strudel and coffee.
Brian has taken some of the group to the cable car and
dropped them off and then returns to the hotel via the petrol station.
I work in my room which is a pleasure as I can sit on the
balcony and beaver away all the time surrounded by gorgeous mountains and blue
sky. The only downside is I can’t connect to the internet in this room as it is
too far from reception.
Hollie has gone up the mountain with Deb, Luke, Sophie
and Paul and we meet after for lunch.
Just a snack at the supermarket cafe is all we need before our exertions this afternoon!
At 14:00 we all meet in the hotel lounge before our
guided tour of Nauders. We even have Brian present who doesn’t normally do
walking! (Although he only gets half way round!!)
Nauders is only a small village and you would think it
hard to organise a guided tour but Charly does a great job. He explains about
the different houses and their uses, the farming and animals, and stops to talk
to just about anyone in the village! He is a charming man and every year his
English improves while his sense of humour is very much like ours.
It is a beautiful hot sunny day and the walk is
delightful. I have now done it many times and always enjoy it and always seem
to learn something new.
Back at the hotel a couple of hours later we are served
coffee accompanied by Apple Strudel straight from the oven. Fantastic.
What a lovely afternoon..
