Switzerland: Day 3 - St. Moritz

St. Moritz is a resort town in the Engadine valley, which is very popular with the swells but as fortunately summer season was just over, the only signs of these were the posh shops and the town itself was rather empty - I hardly saw any person when walking around the town and the lake once the shops were closed.
Saying that my hotel, the Hauser Swiss Quality Hotel, was pretty nice, decently priced with friendly staff and a great breakfast. 

Okay it didn't help that the weather got really bad in the evening and night though the following morning there were bright sunshine.

In general I was not too keen on the town. It might be great for skiers and hikers and while I am a hiker the whole "posh thing" just annoyed me. Fortunately there are other resorts in Switzerland I like so I doubt I will ever go back.
