Picked up a letter from our scout friends in Morges that had chased me from Trieste to Santa Maria to Zernez. So now I've got an address in Sion and Morges. Took out for St Moritz, climbing steadily in the chill of the still frozen morning. It's just now sinking in that I'm in beautiful Switzerland, as in every direction I look I see the solid Alps with there fleece of soft snow. Took my time time getating to St. Moritz. Stopped for lunch just outside of St. Moritz in a grove of Cottonwoods. The falling seeds of soft cotton resembled softly falling snow but the heat of the sun reassured me it was only an illusion. Got a Playboy and Time magazine at a newsstand and went down to the Lakeside to read. Found out the youth hostel was closed just as the cold was forcing me in so just as the sun went down I stretched out on a bench in a deserted camping site.
Mileage: Zernez to St. Moritz 32 km
[For historical accuracy, I feel a need to describe the contents of the Playboy issue of Nov 68. I was primarily reading it to get insight into the upcoming Presidential election!
