With my to-do list shrunk to a manageable size, refreshed by long hours of sleep, and happy with my new-found computer skills, I neared the end of my visit to Zermatt. Great grandfather Albert's Hamilton (now owned by the same conglomerate as Swatch) pocket watch was given to Chris.
Musician friend Gary made a delicious "Gary Curry" at the flat, plus took the children's musical instruments that did not make the packing cut. I mailed a box to Kathmandu crammed tight with school things that also did not fit in my pared down luggage.
Jeff, Chris, and I had a lovely dinner at Schafer Stube on Wednesday, the 13th. And during the morning on the 14th, I crammed my carry on backpack with 11kg, well past the 7 kg weight limit. More experienced travelers assured me that the excess weight really wasn't a problem, and it turned out they were right.
So with newly downloaded movies on a thumbdrive (thank you, Chris), a pass to the Special-Honored-Guest-Passenger-Lounge in Dubai Airport (most appreciated, Jeff), a station send off from Rocky, Jeff, and Chris, I boarded the train for Zurich in the early afternoon.
