Today we woke up to a very grey morning in Swiss, maybe even more snow will fall. On this height every thing is covered in snow and for me who is not used to it, it’s pure magic!
Winter’s own wonderland.
The hotel is huge, but we occupy only a very small part of it. The unrenovated part!
It was taken over by a italian concern and everything they’ve renovated is off-limits to us. The hotel is returning to it’s old splendure, I only hope the “high” will visit it often enough so it can stay alive, keeping it’s history and it’s feeling of grandeur.
There are still work being done on parts of the hotel, so we will have to remove that fine coat of dust that covered the already cleaned rooms and halls.
I don’t have a room with a view this time, but if I sit near the window, I have internet. Now I must see that the battery of my laptop is loaded while I’m away from the room or I have to find an electrical cord long enough to allow me to sit next to the window. My room is large and my only electrical plug is next to the door, on the other side of the window.

Maria and I went to the village in the afternoon. I post a picture of Maria walking between walls of sn
She showed me around town as she has been here many times in the past. The town is built on even grounds and it is not difficult walking here. There are many cross country trails starting in town and crossing through the fields.

This photo is of part of the pass we could see and you can see how it "snakes" through the mountains.
The afternoon was warm and pleasant in the sun. It didn't take long to find a terrace in the sun, where we could sit and drink apple wine which tastes like a cider, enjoying the sun and our time off. This week we work from 8 till 12 and from 4 to 6pm. On our way back we saw the hotel from behind. It's such a colossal structure in such a fairly small town. But, it has it's charms.
Something tells me I'm going to like it here. The people are pleasant, the hotel has it's own special touch of class.
Through a dirty window I took a pic of the town and the night falling.
