Alpaca or Llama?

For the first day since we arrived in Wengen, it isn’t raining. We head out towards Innerwengen.

There’s snow above about 2000 metres, but down here it’s quite nice. We arrive at the farm, to find all the goats, ducks and horses absent. There are still a few chickens though.

We continued our walk up the hill, and spotted some creatures that we’ve not seen before here.

We weren’t sure whether they were Llamas or Alpacas, but Google says they’re Llamas. Either way, they’re friendly and curious animals, and they seemed to look forward to seeing passing walkers.

Back at Chalet Iltis we have almost completed our work to move back into the house. The internal renovations are absolutely lovely. Our heating is now supplied by an eco-friendly air-source heat pump which will apparently save the planet all on its own. It certainly works well – our biggest challenge is keeping the temperature down to a comfortable level. The new solar roof is almost complete, and we have an oven and dishwasher that are connected to the internet and can be operated from anywhere in the world (why, you might justifiably ask). There’s still absolutely tons of work to do on the exterior of the house, and we can only hope that it will be completed before winter arrives.
