Heaven on ice!
After a rather late night and earlier start in Edinburgh, we managed to make the flight for Zurich via Heathrow. I had forgotten how crazy Heathrow was during the holiday period and it did not disappoint! After landing in Zurich and after leaving Zurich airport (with a swear the most expensive airport food of all time!) and killing a couple of hours in the main train station of Zurich (which actually had some really cool xmas markets on) we got on ...
Ski, snow and goulash
... has just started his first Lech ski season was happy to befriend us all and we shouted him a drink of hot chocolate for his 22nd birthday this afternoon. We haved lined him up for reciprocal surf lessons if he can come to Margaret River!

I knew exactly how long ...
Up, Up, Up!
... train, riding it for an hour up the valley, and then repacking her bike and cycling out to find the TI.
I cycled down into the town of Davos and met her at the TI. We found a hotel and then cycled to it together. 96 francs a night ($125) was the cheapest hotel to be found. Unbelievable. We paid it thankful that this was our last night in Switzerland.
Tomorrow, we would cycle over the divide and down to Austria and Italy.
