The Lauberhorn races begin today. I popped up to the Crystal bar for coffee while Val did her German class, and afterwards wandered up to the church which is a good vantage point for seeing the air show. As ever, the show was really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These will ensure that despite the presence of 30,000 race fans over the weekend, we can always get a seat in the Crystal for a beer or a coffee. Nice.

The organisers invited 1500 local schoolchildren free of charge, so there was a great atmosphere at the finish. Just like most big sporting events, you get the best view by watching on TV, which is exactly what we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
