We needed this. Lie-in, relaxed breakfast then explored Zams, starting with the outdoor shop of course. De-mistified the bus system and went to next town Landeck with a view to hiring bicycles. None available, probably a good thing since not many small roads around here.  Invested in Voltarin which got applied liberally to all our sore bits.
 

 Towns around here exist in flat valleys flanked by massive mountains. The bus system is fantastic, with gleaming yellow Postbus everywhere.  

 The river Inn running through the valley towns is hectic at present from melting snow. Reminded me of the Sjambok rapid on the Orange River in RSA.  
 
Later returned to base at Zams where Guy faded into a PM nap after spending all night on mathematical mind games. Liam and I walked to Zammer Lochputz which is a spectacular waterfall gorge draining the vast mountain valley which we hiked yesterday.  

Been a hydroelectric plant there too for about 100 years. Metal walkways and tunnels led us at high level through the area.
 

 Splurged on an early dinner because we all starving. 

Then back early to prepare for tomorrow’s trek into the hills – our last 4 days of mountain.

We needed this break!
