05/19 Mt. Titlis Engelberg/HOTEL MARO/4km

It was fine today.

I enjoyed skiing at Titlis. But ski slopes were very difficult for me, I rolled down.

At that time I looked at a accident. A skier fell over a precipice. He had stoped to move after a short time. Immediately a rescue party and a helicopter came the spot. But they couldn't revive him with artificial respiration...

After the accident I couldn't enjoy skiing. Therefore I went to "Klein Titlis(3,028m)". There is a place of scenic beauty.

I ate dinner at "China Restrant SUNRISE" too. Why yes, the restaurant has many delicious menu.
