After going to visit Jodi and Yannic in Vex, we came home to a specatular display of colours on the peaks.
Karl and Matt rode their bikes from Gryon to Verbier today (a mere 59km of mountain climbs), so Elizabeth and I diligently drove over to pick them up. Karl was keen to ride home, but sense prevailed and they came with us in the car. Whilst waiting, we had a drink and some chips in our favourite little cafe. Villars seriously needs somewhere funky like this!
We went to help a friend in the valley today, and got to see where she grew up. It is the most incredible apartment I think I have ever seen. It is on the edge of Lac Leman, with beautiful high ceilings and old school detailing. My favourite room was the library, with its own fireplace. The books are slowly being packed up for storage, but not before we got to see some real treasures from the 1800's. The room had the most incredible feel to it, and I could instantly feel how great it would be to curl up in a sofa by the fire and read a book, or admire the lake.
My new fresias enjoyed the sunshine after several days of rain. When the clouds lifted this morning, it was clear that our ski season is pretty much done, with the mountains again looking greener and greener.
It was time for Shell and Luke to continue on their trip, so Karl and I took them to Bern so they could catch the train from there. We stopped in the most amazing little cafe to get a break from the rain, and sat in what used to be a little wine cellar.
