Haven't posted anything in a while...

...so thought I'd have to write something tonight quickly.

Yesterday I went into Bern to meet up with a mate from CouchSurfing. I also bought Ueli Steck's 'Speed' book so I can improve my German (and maybe my speed soloing).  Here's a link to Ueli's website:

Went on a bike ride this afternoon, original plan would have been to do a circuit of the Brienzersee which would have been a healthy 40 kilometers but it started to rain in a bit when I got to Iseltwald, so headed back the way I had came.  It was tipping it down with rain and hail by time I was home.  I'm expecting a fair bit of snow up high.

Didn't have a camera with me so no photos unfortunately (it was pretty grey today anyway so not much point)

That's all for Now. Job interview to in Murren tomorrow, better get horizontal soon so I can be wide awake in the morning!

A quick break from work...

Had a few hours this afternoon to go for a walk so grabbed a fleece, boots and poles and head up the mountain above Brienz.  I managed to reach a little snowy couloir (which I can't upload the photo of because it's on my phone and I need to get hold of a memory card reader) before having to turn around and head back to the town.  Place reminded me of the Ogwen as there's fighter jets tearing through the valley every half hour!

Brienz!

Wednesday evening I moved to a new WWOOF host in Brienz. Hans Grossniklaus ran the garage underneath the house for over 25 years, but now has a business making and selling cheese raqulette toasters.  He also has some sort of alp building at one thousand five hundred and something m.a.s.l. on Axalp, which I'm very interested in seeing. The house in Brienz is very comfortable with wireless internet and all the mod-cons.  There's another WWOOFer from Japan staying here, and she's an awesome cook!

Off to meet some friends in Arosa in eastern Switzerland this weekend. Think the plan is to hitch-hike over to Luzern and take the train from there to Chur where I will meet Conny.

Thats all for now.
