Hotel Regina Terme Leukerbad

... schoongemaakt en eens goed naar bepaalde houdbaarheidsdatums gekeken :)
Piekobello is hij nu maar het heeft wel wat uren gekost.. Maar had het er graag voor over!
Lester was tijdens mij schoonmaak woede aan het houthakken!! en heeft gezorgd dat er weer een goede voorraad te verstoken is komende wintertijden!!

Via een tussenstop in Frankfurt terug naar huis waar Job en Elana (de katten) ons met luid miauw onthaalden.

... town feel of banff or lake louise. It was cool at first but us Canadians definitely didn't take long to adjust to the coolness. It was nice to be in a town with fresh air...away from the exhaust fumes and crazy hustle and bustle of city life. So we began our walk...it seemed a little far at the time, but we ended up finding it no problem and a bank on the way...didn't take too long really to get to the hostel. We dropped our bags off and ...

... the mornin just like Carcassonne... It was still dark, we waited in the train station for about 1 hour to let it get a little light out... we then started walkin to the hostel... it was actually quite easy to find... the directions they gave were good this time, good job Hostel World! We were able to put our bags in storage and then we went adventurin... we took the train up a mountain to a small village... it was just a small ski village (I ...

This morning we set out for the famous Swiss Alps. Think Sound of Music. Yes, I know that was set in Austria, but think of the setting nonetheless. We took a morning train from Zurich to Interlaken, where we would spend the night. The approach into the Alps was breathtaking. Technically it's breathtaking in more ways than one, because at the higher altitudes it does become a little more difficult to breath, but not as noticable as I've ...

... did a small but nice hike in the mountains the next day. It’s crazy how you lose your hiking skills really quickly. I felt like i was going to fall over every step I took. All over the valley, we could see para-sailers in the sky, it would have been awesome to try except it the damage was at least $170 each... bummer.

... After that, we each took a small group of kids on a tour of campus. We actually ended up with a somewhat large group, because Julie and I decided to pair up again and she had 3 kids, I had 3, then Tim asked me to take 2 more because they were French speakers and were getting confused. I'm not sure how much help I was though. After the tour, we came back to the dorm for "study hall". Apparently everyone was supposed to be on duty but the schedule didn't say that ...

... slip and die part, I'm smart enough to know that if you can't see the trail slippage is the least of your worries... (The words "Canadian Lost in Swiss Alps" run through my head.). So since I'm normally quite practical, I figure getting lost in the Alps this week would not be the best timing, since no one really cares about Canadians during US election time... (come'on you all know it's true!!!) As a consolation prize I take a tour to the ...

... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Donning his harness for the rappel down, Shannon began his descent of the Jungfrau. I was packed into a full railway car and sent careening for the bottom. They weren't as fond of us on the way down. Our camera was full of photos and the altitude sickness had only caused us to buy a few postcards. All in all it was the perfect day!! Thank you prehistoric glacial movements for shaping what turned out to be a great 30th ...

... having rung another site in the area that "cant promise anything" but has spaces in the minute that we rung them, we have a few options for us. Enough of this namby pamby stuff, time to see where we end up and enjoy that. Rob has just had us doing a good Samaritan job for the Eastenders across the way who left their huge sky roof open on their posh caravan and it started to rain pretty hard. So over with the tarpaulin, some washing line and no hope of succeeding we manage ...

... view of the snowcapped mountains. When the parachute came out, Elliot let me steer and he showed me how to do a few tricks including one that made you feel weightless, like you had stopped in mid-air. When we came down for the landing, they had told us to put our feet out because you slide on your but on the group. My instructor loved me though so when I went to put my feet out he told me to stand up.....I had fallen from over 11,000 feet and landed on my feet like I ...
