Home coming to the Engadine

I nearly expired this morning whilst waiting for the bus to the station - 36 degrees before 9 was just somewhat over the top. Thankfully the trains are comfortable and air conditioned so I had a good journey. It was super to take the Bernina Express back to Madulain, next station to Zuoz, and to see familiar, yet still spectacular sights on the way, such as the Lago Blanco at the top of the pass

 

And of course Morteratsch glacier, just a little hidden.

 

The highlight was still to come - my little hobbit home at Madulain camping

 

Can you believe it, this is where I am staying for 4 nights. I have always wanted to look inside and now here I am cooking, eating, drinking and writing my blog inside.

 

It has a little kitchen, wi fi, a spectacular view until the storm arrived and two very skinny beds. Hope I can sleep! It is super cosy especially with the pitter patter of raindrops - a huge improvement on the thunder and lightning directly overhead an hour ago. Was a bit scary, but I was assured the wine barrel had been around a long time! So what better to do in a wine barrel, drink wine😀

Perfect solution.
