Well we had a lie in this morning – very welcome I can assure you, and we were to spend our last day with our hosts on the mountain. The weather during our stay had been very cold and almost snowy – obviously heavy snow on the Kandel – so we decided that we wanted to take the opportunity to experience the snow first hand.
The Kandel and the snow!
So off up the mountain to try our hand at sledging and ski walking. Simon and Charlotte had never done this before but our hosts were experts and took us under their wings and off Simon and Charlotte went, Simon completed a 4KM walk with Udo and Charlotte did about an hour then joined the rest of us sledging on the nursery slopes!
Sledging
The visability was very poor only seeing approx 20 metres ahead but we all enjoyed the expereince and although cold and wet were very happy when it was time to eat. We were joined by the deputy Mayor who hosted us on behalf of the town and we enjoyed a truely monsterous Black Forest Gateau.
Traditional Black Forest Gateau... MMmmmm
Well it was then time to get back to town, change out of oiur wet clothes and travel to the airport for our flight back to Britain…. We arrived back on time and suitably exhausted and ready for our own beds.
This has been a wonderful few days for everyone and very productive for both partners as the plans develop for the summer and autumn.
Watch this space!
