It’s less than a week until the skiing World Cup descends on Wengen. Construction crews, mostly drawn from the military, are hard at work assembling the temporary buildings that the sponsors and spectators will need. Lots going on at the tennis courts and ice rink.

A pub is being built on the Eigerhübel.

Last night we met Lesley and Dave and we enjoyed a curry up at Golden India. Cocktails in the Tanne bar rounded off a nice evening.

While we were enjoying our cocktails it was snowing outside, and the murky weather continued today. We went over to Grindelwald and met Will’s mum Amanda for lunch. My lemongrass soup was nicely decorated.

Grindelwald is much bigger and busier than Wengen, but there are still some nice spots.

Tapas at the Pickel bar tonight.
