... felt confident that we would be comfortable in our $450/week studio rental. Having now arrived, unpacked and slept the first night it would be true to say that expectations have well and truly been exceeded - this place is awesome. I won't go into too much detail, but the facilities include a huge bathroom (including double-sized shower, bathtub, 2 basins and toilet), Cable TV, High-speed cable broadband internet, full kitchen ...

... Trey and I returned to the top again intent on blasting down the mountain at top speed. We both made it down without using the brakes at all in 5 minutes and some-odd seconds. We both had a blast. Trey video recorded his first descent and he intends on publishing on youtube when we return home.

... a Bratwurst…and guess what Connie had? If you guessed a café you would be wrong…she found herself an Apfelschorle, which is a combination of apple juice and mineral water, and Connie’s favourite drink. While we were taking pictures, we asked a person walking by to take a photo of the both of us. The person happened to be an American who was a retired US Soldier currently working ...

... present him with some Turkish Coffee that we had brought back with us since he had the cezve (copper pot to make it with) and all the tools to properly brew it. We also has incredibly engrossing discussions with him about his family, namely his father who was a career military man served in the Austro-Hungarian empire in WWI and was the head of the forces in Voralberg at the start of WWII. When the Nazi's came in, his father refused to fly the swastika ...

... the next 4 days so we got some great conditions. After that it was all blue sky hot sunny days.

I used to work in St Anton quite a while back so it's great coming back here each year and seeing a few old friends who've kept doing ski season after ski season.

... siis pildimaterjal ning eksponaadid annavad kõneka ülevaate mägede tõelisest võimsusest. Meil tekkis Eeroga tõsine aukartus. Hea pilt oli, kus palktares oli suur auk ja selle eest auto suurune kivirahn. Algul ei saanudki aru, mis värk on, aga teine pilt oli skemaatiline, kus see maja ees lebav rahn oli murdunud 500m kõrgemal kalju küljest ja lennanud mööda mäe külge alla otse läbi maja seinte. Galtür ise on igav ja väike linnake, mis Ischgli kõrval hale vari. Seal ei toimu mingit jämmi.

... Esimesed mägiõlled tegi enamikul tervise korda ja sõit läks lahti. Mägede kvaliteet on väga hea. Tõstukid uued ja rajad küllaltki laiad. Lumeolud olid suurepärased. Liftide ja radade kaudu saab ka Sveitsi sõita, mida me ka tegime. Lõunatasime Sveitsi poole peal, kus kehtis nii frank kui euro. Ega midagi teisiti ei ole ainult põnevam tundub :) Õhtul leidsime, et mingi laoseis peab meil olema ja käisime poes õllede järgi. Kast läks seltskonnas nagu kerisele ja ...

... peale väsitavat spordipäeva ka veel hõõgveini või jägerteed tarbida, siis võib juhtuda, et näiteks kell 19 on noored juba magama läinud :D Seega päris iga päev ei hakanud seal suusasaabastega pidutsema.. paar korda oli täitsa piisav. Muul ajal sai külas ringi kooserdada, poode tšekata ja saunas käia. See oli kah üks väga omapärane kogemus... See oli juba kahtlane, kui administraator kinnitas, et ujumisriideid vaja EI OLE. No eks siis sai ühises riietusruumis r ...

... go all out for desserts, and it shows…but they also walk a lot, so they can eat like this. When we returned from dinner, it was quite late and we have an early start on Monday... we are off for Lucerne. (Before I forget, the music during dinner was absolutely wonderful. Two young fellows were playing local Swiss mountain music on accordions and my feet just couldn’t stay still. Maggie was the only other one of Our Group who went with us.) We had a great time.
