Wednesday was a quieter day and we spent the morning shopping or in the local playground. After lunch, Beck and I took Max to Saas Fee (1800m) by bus and we found a scooter ride down from a nearby mountain peak. So we went up in the gondola car to about 2400m and hired 3 scooters and helmets for the c. 600m descent to Saas Fee down steep gravel roads through the local forests. The journey was about 6km long, so we went down about 100m every km. The route was quite steep and we (Max especially) had to be careful at the corners because we could have an accident if we turned too fast on the loose gravel.
Max was pleased to get to Saas Fee without coming off the scooter or having an accident. It was great fun for him! Becksaid that his age was 7 years so that he could have his own scooter. It was a tough journey and his hands and legs were tired with all the standing, rough surface and breaking that he had to do!
