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.

Alpine Adventure
... the view along a trail that weaved in and out of large pockets of pines grasping desperately to the cliff sides. Culminating in our eventual slippery descent, the entire process took roughly three hours of continuous walking back to Grindelwald - an experience my feet shan’t soon forget.
We would later discover that whilst we felt ourselves on top of the world at Bussalp’s peak, we had traversed a comparatively tiny mountain to that of the mighty ...
