Davos wins 4:3
... wrangled some Gratis VIP seats ringside to an ice hockey game between our team HC Davos & the Kloten Flyers of Zurich. The boys now not only think Marco not only looks and sounds like Arnie Schwartznegger but that he is also god! The view from here has to be seen to be believed. Looking almost level on the ice through TOUGH glass windows. Some of the 'rucks' if that's what they are called would happen nose pressed against the glass right in front ...

Tentatively I asked him at the end of the lesson how his 2.5hr lesson went which was CLEARLY and absolutely wrong for him. To our surprise he came ...
The calm before the storm

I have quite honestly never worked so hard in all my life, or been so exhausted. I am glad to say
