4/25–Afternoon at the cabin

We have arrived!  It is our first look at the newly renovated cabin – and it is wonderful.  The contractors did a fabulous job of melding the new and old structure together, from a visual perspective, and the additional room inside is great!  There is now a huge open kitchen and eat in area, with a sleeping loft above, plus a wood burning stove and gas heated water. 

After the tour, we have the honor of helping to open up and christen (so to speak) the cabin for the summer!  After moving the long picnic table and benches out onto the patio (boy, was that thing heavy!  Just what you would want in the mountains where the winds can be ferocious – that baby isn’t going anywhere in any storm!), we set about organizing a bit, while the boys work on getting the grill started for our sausage lunch!

And what a great lunch it was – sausage over a wood fired grill, enjoyed under the brilliant blue sky while staring out over the mountains.  Simply sublime! 

Hours later, we finally drag ourselves away from the deck, tidy up our lunch utensils and make our way back to the car for an adventurous drive back down the mountains.  The views are still quite scenic but those roads!  They are little dirt lanes that seem more like cart paths than actual roads. Thank heavens for Sigis – the #1 best driver in the world – because let me tell you….those roads were amazing, and he handled them like the pro he is!

Sigis drops us off at the hotel for a little rest and relaxation, before we embark on our farewell dinner in Chur.
