A few photos from our trip to Graubunden, a region close to Italy with its own distinctive Romanisch, a language imported into the region by the Romans and it is used both in verbal and written form. Buna Saira indeed! It sounded great, full vowel crushes and lilting tones but had to use my minimal German in most situations as English wasn't widely understood.
We left Basel in Autumn and arrived, literally in Winter, as snow began to fall in Andermatt. Here we changed for a small train that ascended for half an hour to around 2000m to the Oberalp Pass, a desolate, whitened landscape. We stayed in a little apartment in Sedrun, went for a comical walk in foot deep snow up a mountain that would have Swiss regulars tutting at our lack of plan and had Rosti for an evening meal, shredded,potato comfort against the cold.
