ten minutes past six
Europeans say ice-water impairs digestion . How do they know ? -- they never drink any . At ten minutes past six we reached the Kaltbad station , where there is a spacious hotel with great verandas which command a majestic expanse of lake and mountain scenery . We were pretty well fagged out , now , but as we did not wish to miss the Alpine sunrise , we got through our dinner as quickly as possible and hurried off to bed . It was unspeakably comfortable to stretch our weary limbs between the cool , damp sheets . And how we did sleep !
