Switzerland Feb 2006

This years trip to Switzerland was incredible, It is such a beautiful country and more pow than you can chow.

We started out with a nice early 4:30am rise on Saturday the 4th of Feb, and had immediate problems when all of our luggage didn't fit in the cab, a swift phone call later and we were on our way. By mid morning we were on the strangest little plane ive ever been on, some little British Aerospace thing with 4 huge engines strapped under the wings, which were attached to the roof !

The first 3 days were nice and sunny, however it hadn't snowed for more than 2 weeks, so the snow was pretty hard packed and Icy, this gave us time to see some sites, go Sledding, Curling and things like that. On Wednesday we went up to Schilthorn, the location of the James Bond Film "His Majesties Service", which was good until we almost got stuck up there due to a wind warning... It was a blessing in disguise because following the wind came a load of snow. That night as we ate our Fondue, it just kept on dumping... we woke up the next day to an awesome day of powder runs and wicked fun. It dumped again on thursday and gave us another sweet day of great snow with blue sky to boot.

So all in all, we had a blast, and I would recommend the Wengen area to anyone !
