Plans to turn in early were thwarted by it turning out to be Swiss National Day so all evening bonfires were lit all over the surrounding mountains. At 10pm the fireworks started – spectacular displays above the town plus individual efforts by families, all in front of our hostel room window. Then we could see a line of hand-held flaming torches winding down the mountain – really effective. It was even more spectacular for us as we were able to view it all through Tizz’s washing that was strung up outside the hostel window! A great way to end a rest day – piccy of the swimming pool and fireworks attached.
