Lovely to lie in except that church bells started early! Went for a test drive with Mel in the van to hear the legendary squeak, but the van behaved perfectly! Not moaning! Then up to the swimming pool in which we were to spend the next 6 hours! Beautiful! On the hillside, overlooking the mountains, indoor and outdoor pools, spa jets, whirlpool, waterslide and sunloungers. Also hot sun! Water jet massage for tired muscles, and a perfect way for Pat and George to let off steam, especially as the pool was packed with young Swiss and Italian teenage girls! Mel lay on her back in a water jet and started to laugh hysterically as her bikini top started to inflate to enormous proportions! We had visions of her actually taking off and soaring away in paraglide fashion across distant peaks to St Moritz! Mums comment was that if she had bought the bikini in Marks & Spencer then she should take it back!! Everything wonderfully clean and well kept – the place is packed with hikers, mountain bikers, road cyclists (some lovely bikes) and motorbikes. Also some incredible Ferraris, Lamborghinis and the like roaring up the alpine roads. The rivers are a translucent blue but this might change very soon as Patrick has just gone to wash his smalls! Feeling great again and ready to tackle the Bernina Pass tomorrow. Spoke to Dad who has laid the concrete for his new garage – hi Dad! Camping in the Italian Alps tomorrow and meeting Bernard near Brescia on Tuesday. Back in the routine but looking forward to it.
