Davos wins 4:3
... seat. Within 30 secs of the start a hockey stick lay snapped in 2 on the ice. Many time outs for stray jaw whacks, biffo etc. Sam called it Ice Rugby and think it a very accurate description. All the while my camera ready, both digital and video on my own little storage shelf at my feet. (Tee Hee). Shame I can't upload some of the action for you to see as this IPad doesnt support the full version of Travelpod. Need a laptop for this. In short Davos ...

par with the bravery. endurance and sheer brilliance shown by the wonderful men in
1944, but it feels like it to me as my kitchen in Chalet Runca takes on the air
and tension of a military campaign. Yes, the first 16 (!) guests arrive
