We arrive downstairs to meet Gaby and Sigis at the appointed time, and are whisked off to Chur, a quick 15 minute ride away. The beautiful day has turned into a beautiful evening and we enjoy strolling through the old medieval town center perusing restaurants.
Our first choice, a Mexican place, is packed with people waiting outside, so we continue on through town, finally landing on the Calanda Restaurant and Bar. What a fitting final dinner here – Calanda! The local – and best – beer in the land!
It’s a cool place, with a totally lively atmosphere, an immense outdoor seating area and nicely appointed inside restaurant with bar height tables and chairs. We grab seats and dig into pasta for Sigis, Spicy beef wrap for Gaby, Swiss Cordon Bleu for me and a mixed salad, pretzel and sausage for Ed. None of the pictures do the food any justice, so you’ll just have to take our word for it that it was wonderful (and quite frankly, after I’ve pictured bombed you to death over the past few posts, you’re probably happier with more text and less pix for now!).
The evening speeds by far too quickly, and before we know it, we are back in the car heading to the hotel. We have a final farewell drink at the Alte Post and tearfully bid Gaby and Sigis goodbye – promising to see each other soon – and for us Americans to not take another 13 years to come back to visit in Switzerland!
We reluctantly return to our room, finalize our packing, then sit on the balcony and reminisce over the last 3 wonderfully special days spent with our wonderfully special friends.
