Chffing down
... it together. Had I managed it 8 minutes before I would have not been given a 'time out' by the darned machine. Most of Verbier has a weird habit of turning off washing machines between 11.10 and 12.30 and 13.00 and 20.00. No other applicance, or sauna or ski lift, just the washing machines! Grrr.

I had been insulted, humiliated, mistrusted, and scorned. I talked to the raging waterfall and it agreed with me. Crash down into the void with me, it said, I'm getting the hell out of here.

Alpine Adventure
... perhaps it was just the altitude, but there was something therapeutic about it, all troubles seeming to melt away at eleven thousand feet above sea level.
A half hour train ride from Interlaken, the tiny village of Lauterbrunnen is where we decided to take shelter over Christmas. The town is located within an immense valley, framed by rocky cliff faces where many waterfalls cascade down into the chasm. Whilst the winter period saw the vast majority of these waterfalls ...
