Romantik Hotel Krone Lech

... e. black face paint on face, neck and arms (which they are still trying to scrub off! me and gemma wore our thermal bottoms as they are bright colours and gemma wore a black top. all my black tops were in the wash so I wore my apron back to front with the company logo covered in black tape. again, photo attached!

and then there was today - our first day off since we've been here and our first day on the slopes! it's been snowing all day (and most of last night) so ...

Whilst travelling, regardless of one's budget it is impossible not to consider the concept of value when paying for goods and services along the way. I often make comparisons between the cost of a meal or drink in a new place with that of the same or a similar product purchased in Perth, so I have decided to list a few below to give you an insight into my thoughts. There seems to be a widely shared misconception that Europe is regarded as being 'expensive', however I ...

Also dranbleiben! Am 27.1.2010 gehts los und wir werden euch hoffentlich mit abenteuerlichen und spannenden Geschichten unterhalten - hoffentlich auch alle mit happy end :).

... the most impressive aspect was that it was still very fast and turned remarkaly well when put on edge.

Our first day on the mountain deserves a little coverage in its own right. Despite the lacking conditions it felt great to be back on the snow, sliding down the mountain and scoping out the endless amount of potential that the surrounding terrain holds. Almost every report of St Anton that I had read described this place as ...

... dining area and sofa bed. It isn't huge, but in this case size doesn't matter. Perhaps the greatest thing is that we are literally 20-30 metres from the shuttle bus-stop that will transport us to the main gondolas and town village centre in just a few minutes.

At this moment I am sitting in the darkness of the living area. It is approaching 7am and I have been awake for a few hours. Having fallen into the work/grind ...

We were planning to go to Liechtenstein but thought we may as well as it was sort of on our way. It's the worlds 6 smallest country so it would have been rude not to go..haha.

We didn't drive to the main town but to another.. where really there wasn't anything. I did get a photo with the tourist sign though. Had to somehow prove I'd been there!

... the pedestrian street. I also stopped for a bite to eat in a small kebab eatery.

On the bus back to Sargans, I got off at a stop in Balzers so I could check out another castle - the one we passed on the bus journey to Vaduz. This one is also a private one, it turns out, so I couldn't go inside it either. It sits on top of a steep hill wrapped in vineyards. I walked around a bit until another bus came along and headed back to Sargans.

... and see you somewhere else, wherever you want... I did some pictures, to remember... Now direction Grisons, and its first city, Chur (or Coire, in the French version). In the car, we started to realize that 6 countries ( Switzerland , Germany , Austria , Liechtenstein , Italy and France ) was a too big challenge. Even if we are crazy (at least, even if Sof and Ali are crazy ok, i disagree, you are as much crazy than us ), we can not realize this and working ...

... a wonderful sound! As we started on our walk, we noticed that the fog was starting to descend on the valley and the temperature was getting cooler. While we walked around town, it was quite obvious that Davos is much more cosmopolitan than Kitzbuhel, not as charming and quaint. This is not to disparage Davos, it’s just that after being in Kitzbuhel (and falling in love with it), it’s hard not to make comparisons. The population in Davos is around 30,000.
