Going Yodelling...BRB...

[cj2017]

 Going here tomorrow...



Fingers crossed for good weather, many hours of writing on the balcony looking at that view, ice cream, hot chocolate with marshmallows, spectacular hikes, no blisters, lemon sorbet, potato rosti, salami, Emmental cheese and cows with bells on.

Back in two weeks!

Looks lovely. And restful in a strenuous way. Breathing at altitude can be challenging, but being on vacation, one can sit pretty much whenever. Now, no littering! It's Switzerland and they like it clean. And think twice about the yodeling.

Sweet!

It looks so much nicer without all the clouds that covered everything when we went there in Oct 1993. The only time we saw mountains was when we took a little twisty road above the clouds.

Good luck, stay safe, and share the driving!

It's beautiful, we've been to Grindelwald a couple of times before and it's just a stunning place. I have a thing for the Eiger, I just can't help myself.

We're planning on starting off slowly this year, not had time to put in enough Peak District practice walks!

To be honest, I might not yodel. It's probably more than my life's worth! Cat has done the Sound of Music dance up there before now though and got away with it *g* I'm just hoping that this time around, I don't get herded into a billy goat's harem... long story. Actually, not that long, the damn thing took a shine to me and tried to herd me into his flock. Cat couldn't help me for laughing...

We're hoping for some decent days of weather, you have to go for two weeks really to try and better your odds because it can be unpredictable in this valley.

Driving?! Oh we won't be driving. We're spending the hol in one place so trains, cable cars, buses and shanks' pony are the way forward ;-)

At least it was a mammal. My brother has friends that have a weekend place in upstate New York where among other things they keep peacocks and hens. The peacock thought my brother quite fetching and did his mating display for my brother at every opportunity. I think my brother thought him quite handsome but didn't fancy a long distance avian relationship.

Oh, and nice ass, by the way. Who's is it?

[feroxargentea]

It's mine!!!

Um, no it's not, it's Sarah Connor's (Lena Headey's). Damn.

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

Heh! Such stuff as dreams are made on.

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

LOL. That's fabulous. The goat didn't have an impressive mating display or anything. He had sunburn and goat-smell. It wasn't entirely attractive to be honest...

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Tis a damn fine arse. And Cat is such a little fibber ;-)

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh! That's Cat! Hi, Cat. I'm Sue. So is it all Headey all the time with your icons?

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

Shall I go Shakespearey again and refer to star crossed lovers?

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

She's waving from bed!

All but two of my 15 free-lj account icons are Sarah Connor. I definitely need a Rizzo icon. I'm crap at making them but I'm sure S2 will bring plenty to the comms for me to pinch.

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

You can do but I might have to turn the other (arse) cheek ;-)

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you're more icon ambitious than I, obviously. What can I say? I'm a Taurus. We're consistent and plodding. Have a wonderful time on your trip, you two. Send me some chocolate!

[laurel-hardy.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind another view.

[lamaudite.livejournal.com]

Wow! Lovely! Have a blast!

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And there's no shame in consistency, mine are all consistently pretty ;-)

Hey I'll send you choc no problems, one thing Switzerland is not short of is chocolate!

[cj2017.livejournal.com]

Thank you. We'll certainly try our best. Now if only those low clouds would clear...

[feroxargentea]

*waves* hiya.

(I have no nice girl-icons. My fandoms are tragically girl-free *g*)

Even better without the driving. A dear friend of mine loaned me her copy of "The White Spider", written by Heinrich Harrer, one of the first guys who successfully climbed the North Face of the Eiger. You have to be a climber at the top of the game, AND be lucky, to climb that face and survive. The book is really compelling, and it was a shock when I read about Harrer's POW experience during WWII (he was Austrian).
Well worth the read, if you can find a copy.

Ooo nice! I suppose you've left already but I'll say anyway...

Have a wonderful holiday!
