Then onto the poignent lion monument carved in a rock face, in memory of the Swiss guards who died protecting Marie Antoinette. Hot indian dinner in a beautifulhotel.

Leysin -rightlycalled the oxygen of the Alps- the air you breathe in is pure & invigorating. The hotel we stayed in was modern withdisco lights inthe faucet. As we took our customery walk on the road outside , we kept out of the way of a drunk. We passed a shop window displaying a stuffed fox , outside was a poster for a Lady Gaga concert in Zurich while profound silence reigned in the quaint houses . Yes, we had an Indian dinner & then stt blissfully.
