I must have slept close to 7h at Berghaus Bäregg, which is unheard of for me, only get that a few times a year...
Exhaustion helped, and of course i was one of the first to go to bed. 

legs ..... are ..... WORKED....

I had a bit of breakfast, packed, and sadly left one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

My overall stay was not cheap - 209chf
half board 90chf
lunch rosti 22chf (which I had forgotten :) )
3 beers at 8.50 each
a very expensive baseball cap :)

I got back to the hotel, re-packed my backpacks, walked to the train station headed for Martigny.
Friday night in Switzerland, nothing is cheap, but with luck I can see Mont Blanc tomorrow.

Hotel la Poste in Martigny.
This room used to be the second room of a suite.
Now it has a television and fridge and nothing else.
You are supposed to watch the tv through the door between the two rooms, I am standing in the doorway

My other room.
It was sweltering.

Meanwhile in Italy

Ray:
Went on a run this morn around the castle and park area.
Beautiful place to run - joggers everywhere.
About to begin my quest for two-wheeled transport.

Dusty:
find a moto yet Ray?

Ray:
Ya.
On the road to Bologna.
Picked up a little Ducati Multistrada V4S.
Always wanted to drive a Ducati - there is no power limit that I can tell - just point, twist and you're there.
Slips thru traffic nicely, too.
Just topped off tank and used the WC.
Will be in Bologna by 2.
