Leukerbad

The last Hurrah Tour ended in a town called Leukerbad. You take the train to Leuk, then a 30 minute bus ride up a winding mountain. Its famous for its thermal baths which we went two times.  One had a gigantic 4 story slide which I loved and all had pools with massage jets aimed at different parts of the body.  You start at one station and a bell rings in 5 minutes for you to move to the next.  Water massage!

It has a 4 story slide (did you like Sesame Place as a kid?).  Photo here: 4 Story Slide!

The hotel receptionist recommended an easy hike for us to the waterfall. She showed it to us, number five on the map. THERMAQUELLEN - STEG.

Not to be confused with THERMAQUELLEN - WEG

Thermaquellen- steg means Thermaquellen climb.

Thermaquellen-weg means   Thermaquellen-path. OMG. 

It was only after going the wrong way then reading the many sign that I realized  Thermaquellen meant thermal springs.  We did both-the climb going up and the path coming down.  Walking over the waterfall was beautiful.





That was us 30 minutes ago.


It was just what I needed to put my goodbyes with Switzerland at peace.  Au revoir Switzerland.  Its been a wonderful 2+ years.
