On the way to GstaadOn the way to GstaadOn the way to Gstaad

where the rich n famous have their holiday homes
Today Kat offered to take us to Gstaad for a horse and sleigh ride around the lake with the free tickets that she had. Sweet Kat!! Gstaad is the playground of the rich and famous. Movie stars have their winter vacation homes here and Kat said we could probably bump into one of them in the town. This town also had really expensive shops, like Gucci and Prada. The girls were excited. Gstaad was so beautiful, the lake area even more so, but we could think of nothing except the biting cold as we rode around the lake in the minus 15 degree temperature. The girls were bored on the sleigh ride and frozen solid and thought there was actually no point to getting all frozen for nothing, but as usual I put it down to 'an EXPERIENCE'.
After the ride we went into this quaint little hotel to have some hot drinks and warm our frozen feet.
We went home and made more rotis, for Solhoh as he could not get enough of it and tomorrow we leave again. This time for PARIS

The girls were totally in love with Kat and her family and asked me if we could stay a little longer and Kat who had also fallen in love with the girls was only too happy to say YES! but I thought we had to move on to our next destination. Sorry girls but there's always next year and Kat did invite you to come for three weeks so you could learn how to ski. Everyone was sad😞
