We managed to have a quiz last night with three teams of two.
Yesterday’s fog has gone and it’s much colder this morning. The sun’s out! Männlichen and First are now closed as are the nursery slopes in Wengen and Grindelwald, so all this week’s beginners have to come to Scheidegg. It’s busy!
Up on the Lauberhorn things are a lot quieter. Here’s Val on Wixi.
It’s the time of year when the bars need to run down their stocks. This is a good thing for us, as an ‘ustrinkete’ or ‘drink out’ means cut price beer and wine. Last night it was the Sunstar and they attracted a big crowd to see Duo Centrale play their last concert of the season.
Today has been foggy and cold so we did our chores. Quiz later if there are enough people still here to make up a few teams.
Good night out yesterday; went to Val’s end of season ski school party at Grindelwald. Got a lift with Julie & James – first time we’ve been in a car this year!
Later we ended up in a bar of course. The singer was good.
This morning we popped down to Lauterbrunnen and caught the bus to Stechelberg, a hamlet at the very end of our valley. The road comes to an end here.
Apple strudel for lunch at the little hotel.
We walked back to Lauterbrunnen and bought some cheese from a farm on the way.
Nice dinner with Sally & Paul before we waved goodbye last night.
The mini golf is open and doing a good trade.
Babbling brook running down the nursery slope towards the village.
Up in the woods there’s a carpet of wild flowers.
Good party in Rocks last night to celebrate Clive & Alison’s 30th anniversary. Here’s a picture we called ‘The three Mikes’. Erin wanted to be in it.
Every year, at the end of the winter season we have a concert up at Scheidegg called Snopen Air. Today the piste machines began preparing the ground for the stage to be built. They’ve made a bit of a mess of the run down to Wixi but we picked our way through.
Lovely curry last night, the new restaurant seems to be doing very well. Männlichen gave us some incredible views this morning.
We skied round to Scheidegg on deserted pistes.
Michael and Erin at Scheidegg.
Went up to Scheidegg this morning and had a ski around, by lunchtime the sun had turned the snow to slush. The home run is now closed, so here’s a picture of summery Wengen taken from the train.
Curry tonight, yum yum.
