Weekje sneeuw en RELAXEN<br><br>Wat een heerlijke week!!<br><br>Hij begon wat gehaast en het bezoek aan de SEATdealer (knipperend dashboardlampje); was ook niet echt bepaald gepland..<br>Onderweg veel werkzaamheden op de duitsesnelweg wat tot de nodige vertraging zorgde maar .. waardoor we ook van mooie herfstkleuren hebben kunnen genieten.<br>Na 12uur rijden kwamen we in het donker aan in het wel vertrouwde huisje Wengi.<br><br>De volgende ...

... mix need reviving. The weather was clear on the main view side and overcast on another. Evidently God didn't feel that the view and revolveing restaurant was good enough for us, so he threw in a couple of snow falls for good measure. Gotta love the guy!<br> <br>We made a couple/few revolutions, took a few dozen pictures, and started our descent. We decided, at the encouraging of Rick Steves, to stop off at the tiny, and I mean TINY ...

... did a small but nice hike in the mountains the next day. It&#8217;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.<br><br>http://picasaweb.google. com/lh/photo/_RXGGfa-cjNcaDADRk_4xA?aut hkey=Gv1sRgCMTOwqr-zZGObA&amp;feat=dire ctlink

... I'd still only go for a sweet white or something fairly sedate. Bronny however is a red drinker and it became her personal mission to find me a red that I liked. So after a few different wine stands and a champagne stand that provided us with some hilarious entertainment, we came across a lady that was up for Bronny's mission. She decided she would start me off on some nice sweet whites that I would like &amp; take me into some stronger whites before ...

... peaks of the Bernese Oberland, the Eiger (Ogre), Mönch (Monk), and Jungfrau (young woman) tower above. This we only knew from previous experience. The cloud ceiling was hovering just a few hundred feet above us, creating a slight drizzle. Our spirits were not sufficiently awake to be dampened, however, and we continued our ascent to Mürren. This region has a transit infrastructure to rival Lower Manhattan. Mürren, a village of 328, sits at the ...

... I have never been more glad to see it. At this point we took a gondola break and after waiting in line for 1.75 hrs we raised a mile down the hill on Luiges. Basically it was a huge slide. The wind in my hair, 6 foot 4 travel buddy at my back and nothing but the end of the track to stand in my way! It was GREAT! and worth the wait in my opinion. Next we hiked for around 45 minutes down a easy trail... Or so the swiss thought. I can now say I hiked ...

... from the train station to the falls, through the most awe-inspiring valley with waterfalls around every corner and cliffs towering above us. The Trummelbach falls are 10 waterfalls within the mountain, which drain the Monch and Eiger of the melting snow. The water flows at 20,000l per second, so it was very loud and rather chilly! Absolutely amazing though, I've never seen anything like it. We met a whole load of people at the falls, including a South African and a Dutch ...

Grutzi! from the beautiful Bernese Oberland. <br><br>After Budapest, I moved on to Salzburg which is a nice little town. I saw ice caves there. But then I got all itchy and decided that I wanted more than anything to go into Switzerland and hike like crazy for a little while.<br><br>I chose the town of Gimmelwald in the Jungfrau region. I got here and was so tired of traveling and not ...

... 8217;&#8230;and waiting for Shirley &amp; company to finish their shopping&#8230;I noticed a man walking through Lucerne with a rifle slung on his shoulder. I wondered about that&#8230;no one seemed concerned. In America, we would have run for cover.)<br><br>When we returned to Davos, we got ready to go to dinner in Klosters, which is a 15 minute ride from here. Dinner was at the Alpina Hotel where Prince Charles and Princess ...

... new room was huge and after all the hostels we had stayed at, this room was like a palace. It even had a tv! Best of all was the most incredible view of the lake, church, Mt. Pilatus and city. We both wanted this room but were afraid of how much more he was going to charge us because the other room was tiny with no amenities and no view. The man seemed ...
