Morning Mountain.jpg

Despite the absence of a convenient bathtub on the balcony and an unwillingness to head down to the baths to take in the sunrise, there was another early morning rise to watch the sun play over the snow capped peaks while I kept hacking away at the backed up Travelogue.

I probably could have been up slightly earlier, since I wanted to get the first rays hitting the snowy summit, but although I was a tad late the view was still spectacular as I tapped away with regular pauses to enjoy the interaction between rising sun, snowy peak and cloud. I suspected it was snowing up there, and the peak seemed to have acquired an extra coating overnight.

Madam, of course had another go at the onsen, and I had a shower once she was back in  the room. Three visits to the heated waters in two days was enough to be going on with and, in any case, water and electronic devices don’t mix all that well.
