The Hotel

We pulled off to the side of the road to use the bathroom at a hotel you will see later on in this post (we're still in the alps... and here comes that depth rant again, prepair yourselves).

ahem...

THAT IS SO MUCH HUGER THAN IT LOOKS! SERIOUSLY! IT LIKE A HUNDRED BAJILLION MILES TO THAT RIVER AT THE BOTTOM!



And here's the hotel I promised you. It has a gift shop in the back and if you pay five Euro you can climb out onto a glacier that is sitting by itself up higher in the mountains (you can't see it in the picture, but it is hidden by that little cliff on the right hand side of the road). We did not pay to see it. There were tons of little yellow and white butterflies everywhere up here. I counted fifty in one little patch of grass next to the hotel.




And the hotel bathroom... (I think)... Now that I look at it... it might be one on the border of Switzerland and Italy. It looks a little too new for the Alps one. Anyway... there was a bus that stopped traffic for a long time because it was too long to fit around the switchback. Tallis has a picture of it (because he took about a thousand pictures during this portion of the trip. All of them from the car. He has one of this guy weedwacking next to the road, just a little past the hotel. He took it as we drove past. The road construction is crazy over here. They don't have any signs or anything. They just go to work and traffic has to fit around them. Very cool)
