We headed out of Klosters, Switzerland and started a full day of driving. We worked our way out of the Alps and headed North towards Zurich. We drove through the fertile farming region at the base of the Alps. The highway lead us through a Swiss Army base and then came to a set of flags; we were now leaving Switzerland and entering Liechtenstein. The country of Liechtenstein was interesting. It is only 150 Km sq. The country is famous for three things: Postage stamps & passport stamps (because everyone wants to show they’ve been there) & dentures (the countries [View Full Entry]
Perfect Altitude
This was the perfect town for winter camping in a van with no heat. The town was at 500m and the lifts brought you up over 2000m, so after a days boarding we sat around the campsite in our shorts and ... [more]

I've got myself a new job in....Switzerland! I start on the 23rd of April so will literally finish up here then be home for a week or so and then onto a completely different dialect again! Doing a fairly similar job but this time no children involved. Somewhere in the Bernese Oberland (more to be confirmed as and when I know!) What other news can I give you? Well I left Vienna on wednesday very early in the morning. Had a lovely time. Enjoyed a city even though I have to admit I did miss the mountains. Even the cows [View Full Entry]

Just a quick note really to let you all know I am still alive. Not had a chance to really update you all for a while and unfortunately now isn't the time either! All I will say for now is that it's been an interesting 5 weeks but good at the same time. Attempted my first black slope (as it happens the bottom of the Harakiri, the steepest prepared slope in Austria!) Only issue being I still get scared but I suppose it's all part of the fun?! Right better head off... my Dad is here as of tomorrow so hoping [View Full Entry]

This week has proved successful... finally got the hang of this parallel skiing business. I've decided it's more mind over matter. You think about it too much hips, legs, knees etc and you just get confused. My opinion anyway. Must say it's more thanx to the ski instructor this week rather than my wonderful skiing ability! Must say absolutely awesome ski school but where the hell do ski instructors learn their english?! Example: Student: 'Look at you drinking and eating on the ski lift, is there anything you can't do?' Instructor: 'No, I can do everything on a ski lift. Just [View Full Entry]

New Years and resolutions...
Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Mayrhofen
Another new year is upon us so happy 2007 to all! I made some resolutions this year and unlike usual actually wrote them down. I should really have kept them longer than an hour too!! Ooops. For those of you interested, here goes... 1) Not be reliant on others (I was in a philosophical mood) 2) Do not dwell on things and overanalyse (ditto) 3) No more schnapps (this lasted about half an hour if that) And the one i should have made and always attempt to but never seem to manage to keep... 4) Do NOT drink and text or [View Full Entry]

So you can tell I'm not working at the moment as I have the time to trek 3km into town and spend ages on the internet. But what have I been doing with myself otherwise? Well truth is not a lot. Shopping aimlessly (ski equipment and the lark are expensive) and drinking coffee and gluhwein galore. But on tuesday after a days wandering I decided i was cold so needed to warm up using the age old solution- gluhwein. So I thought, drinking on my own ok but it's gluhwein, it's hardly alcohol. So i went to my local apres ski [View Full Entry]

So last week was my first week on the job and I have to say, it went quite well all things considered. I only had one emergency trip to the hospital which was in fact not a skiing injury but somebody falling through a glass door. It was all good though, no arteries severed and a few check-ups confirmed that it wasn´t serious. No more skiing for the parties concerned but such is life. I also had a second trip (well technically fourth if i include check-ups) to the hospital. One of the teachers unfortunately got off the ski lift too [View Full Entry]

Ding Round 2 - This Time There’s Nudity!
Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Mayrhofen
Sun, Snow, Skis, Saunas & Sleep or Lack Thereof! First two quick apologies: I’m sorry it’s been so long since my last posting, and I’m also sorry that my last posting from Dallas sucked so bad … I just re-read it and it was like literary valium. So since my Dallas weekend let me catch you up on the last 10 days, day 1 through 6 were kind of busy. Since my return to London, I’ve had tons of work to do and the pressure to deliver some tangible results is growing by the day. So I guess it’s time to [View Full Entry]
