Winter Wonderland

The climbing road trip has, so far, comprised very little rock climbing. This didn't really change much in snowy Switzerland.

That said we both had a great time in Switzerland. It was lovely to see Rich, Raffaela and little Sebastian (and Luna the cat!). Rather than donning our rock shoes, we got togged up and set off to play in the snow. One day we hiked up into the snowy hills and had a lovely view into the hills and over a frozen lake. (Forgot the camera, so you'll have to picture it!). The day didn't just involve hiking as we spent a large amount of time burying each
other in snow drifts. Rich tried to bury a snow drift in my (Jason's) trousers too!

The next day we all went to the Fribourg Christmas market to see St Nicholas on his donkey and drink mulled wine. We didn't see St Nicholas but the mulled wine was good! Jason then found a new game of pushing Sebastian in his push chair up the big hill racing anyone who looked like competition - or those who had enough of a head start.

On our last day in Switzerland we headed to a ski resort and went sledging. We thoroughly enjoyed the sledging and both crashed repeatedly off the luge run. Claire managed to crash spectacularly on camera too - what a show off! We've zoomed in the picture too, so you can see her splattered in the snow.

Rich is showing how it’s done in another shot.
