Arosa Kulm Hotel And Alpin Spa

Nach zwei genialen Monaten bin ich also wieder hier, zurück in der Schweiz. Ich hätte es gut und gerne noch etwas länger ausgehalten, freute mich aber auch wieder heimzukommen.<br>Ich möchte an dieser Stelle allen danken die mich in den zwei Monaten unterstützt oder auch mal etwas von sich haben hören lassen. MERCI!<br>Bis bald, <br>Chrigu

... by bread, potatoes and pineapple. (I know, pineapple? Not something that exactly screams 'Swiss.'...but then again neither does curry flavoured fondue... but oh so good) The next day we hit the mountain for an early - and relatively wasteful 2 hour ski lesson and then spent the rest of the day enjoying the great skiing Switzerland is famous for. That night the entire group ended up in bed earlier than at any point I can possibly recall in my life. It is ...

... that Bern is my favourite place, and I will be sorry to leave tomorrow. Although, there is comfort in knowing that I will one day return. Things that I missed (besides the obvious): 1) Alfie (could this be any more obvious?) 2) a cold glass of milk 3) cheddar cheese 4) my big comfy bed 5) being spoken to in english 6) the beach/cottage 7) my life 8) driving 9) hot showers Things I learned: 1) a smile goes a long way 2) be open to meeting new people, and doing new things 3 ...

... or skis. After checking to see that it was still August, we learned that Zermatt has the best year around skiing. And the best part about it was you could ski around the Matterhorn. Yes, the Matterhorn. We saw it in most of its glory. The clouds were out and covering the tip, but still awesome even though Mickey wasn't climbing it hourly. We were getting pretty tired will all the rapid traveling we were doing so we decided to have a day of rest. This consisted of ...

... various places. We ended up chatting for a few hours over dinner and then met them again later that evening, along with a few other americans. Mike is a backpacker that will be moving to Burlington, MA this summer. Clo is from New York but is moving to Dublin for a while with her brother. She will get to Dublin at the same time as us, so we hope to meet up again. We all regailed eachother with our travel stories and danced till we dropped. The ...

... most visible landmark....a fountain which shoots up to a 140m plume. Whilst walking out of the old town in search of the fountain, l took a short detour to the lovely part Gothic Cathedrale St Pierre, where John Calvin preached from 1536-1564. I then took Rue de la Fontaine to reach the lakeside where l will still looking for Genevas so called most visible landmark. Yet l couldnt see it anywhere. I walked along side the lake, past ...

... a cow (one of my must do's in Switzerland I can tick off!) although did myself an injury helping with the milking. I was quite paranoid about being kicked by a big heifer but instead got attacked by the bloody milking machine which nearly broke my friggin arm! So I have stuck to household duties since then as I think I will let the machine win that fight and surrender gracefully (it was more of a sulky eyes full of tears faint from the pain departure to find an ice pack ...

... started moving we walked to the lake to enjoy a beautiful view of Geneva. I could sit here for hours people watching and feeding the birds. We are resting up for the big wine festival this weekend. For dinner we went to eat at Soupcon. This is a chic restaurant owned by one of Ygor's very good friends. Talk about some fine dining! Thanks Heather! :) At the end Jaques(restaurant owner) came at chatted with us.. he is a super funny guy! Nothing but good times!

... chocolate manufacturers in switzerland are Mars and Nestle , Cadburys are not allowed in. Coca-Cola control about 95% of the drinks market over here and you will never go into a shop and see Coke and Pepsi for sale together a shop will either sell Coke or Pepsi not both. I could go on and on but I wont however, it is all a little strange. I must dash, but please check out my pictures and I will update you all again soon. Missing all of you lots Sheff

... calmest. No paddling was necessary as the current steadily guided us. We talked with Malika who as we gathered was way cool. She told us the guy from the van's name was Welshie. He being from Wales, I don't know if that was his real name, but that's what they called him. Mainly, it was quiet in the boat as I looked around at the mountains right next to me, the breeze massaging the tree branches ever so gently, the rays of the setting sun dancing in tune with the mesmerizing cloud ...
