Appenzell & Morgins

Unfortunately the altitude and uphills have been taking their toll on Zali who is feeling particularly fatigued at the moment, so after half an hour she reconsidered and took herself down the mountain via an alternative route. 

Jon, Jett and I continued on and it was pretty spectacular although brutally steep - both up and down.  We took around 3 hours to do the 11k circuit from the top of the cable car, along the ridge, down to the lake then further down back to the car.  The last 3km took us past a beautiful little lake where we passed about a zillion people who had walked straight up from the car park to see it.

When we reached our car we realised just how popular the lake was as the parking places were all full to bursting and there were parking assistants directing the chaos.

With not much time for recovery we jumped into the car for the 4 hour drive to Morgins, stopping only briefly for lunch and snacks.  We're now comfortably settled in our Airbnb ready for the start of the Swiss O week tomorrow.
