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!

Team dinner at 14
After a busy day in the chalet, more training, more ettiquette with Jane and two more staff massages, home for a qhick shower and back up to No 14 for a superb fine dining menu!

As far as the hiking goes - very similar to Ouray-type except with the smell of pine instead of spruce and fir, the look ...
Terveisiä Sveitsistä
Heissan pitkästä aikaa! Terveisiä romanttiselta Sveitsin reissulta :) Tai ikävä kyllä se suunniteltu romanttisuus kuulemma karisi kuin kivi, kun pirulauta ajoin eilen illalla tänne tullessa vuoristotiellä kiveen ja auto paskana. Oli pilkkopimeää, Chamonixin jälkeen laskeuduttiin vuoristossa Martignyyn. Mulla oli pitkät päällä, vastaan tulee auto ja yhtäkkiä edessä on iso kivi. Tippunut vuorilta, keskellä kapeeta ajokaistaa. Jotenkin oli liikaa liikkuvia osia ja en vain tajunnut ...
