Swiss National Park

I can't believe we climbed another mountain!  We swore off them after Mt Fuji, but when in the Swiss Alps......  Today we made our way via train and bus to the Swiss National Park (the only national park in Switzerland) and took a 4 hour hike around Mt Margunet.  The base was at an altitude of 6161 ft, and the top was 7638 ft.  That's where we were huffing and puffing while all the nationals flew by us.  At the bottom we followed another nice little trail along a ravine, and made it back to our hotel in time to share a plate for supper.  We've discovered that we're not keen on spending $75 for a meal anymore, so we're going to share plates.  Switzerland is very beautiful and very expensive!
