Take It All In...
Woke to a glorious vision of the Matterhorn. Should not say woke, never slept on the junk mattress. Parker and I buffet. I then took the kids all around the town. We went into the quaint shops, walked all over the alleys and just stared at the gorgeous mountains.
The German had told us to go to the Little Matterhorn and to go to the …
Yodeling in the Swiss Alps
So in reality there was no yodeling but I broke out of Zermatt just in the knick of time, the snow was just starting to lightly fall as I crossed the street to the train station. My stay in this part of Switzerland was amazing. The weather, aside from this morning, was pristine. No clouds and all blue skies while the sun was out and an eerie frozen …
Chffing down
... and we eventually won back my soggy washing.
A productive day at work, got lots of my jobs crossed off the list-hurrah! Yummy staff dinner from the No 14 kitchen of creamy mushroom pasta-sounds a bit dull? it really wasn't!
Massaging my boss tomorrow, hope he still thinks I'm worth it!
Snow is coming down like snowbodies business. Getting a good base on the pistes. . .apparantly:)

A nice gentle start on the slopes

Sadly I wasn't brave enought to take my camera out today so there are no amazing piccies to accompany this-sorry folks! but I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunites.
Although after 3 hours on the slopes I still have no idea which runs are which,where I was or where I should be aiming for in future-ah well!

Jobs done=none,photos taken=many!
... manifique' several times to not altogether bad!

Early to bed as we are heading up the hill tomorrow morning!
