With morning breaking I can see all the mountain tops are covered with snow again, like the day we came here.
It is time to pack.
Usually the last day is a very busy day, but not this time. The hotel is going over into the hands of another proprietor. It’s good for me, because enough snow has fallen to cover everything with a white cloth and makes it all very fairy tale like. Time for some snapshots!
I could finally get the hotel front façade with the sun on it, the sunterrace with the sun on it, my favourite tree at the lake covered in snow.
In the afternoon I thought of going to sit on René’s bench, which is in the sun and you can see all the mountain tops from there. Mariette was lying on a bench in the sun, but decided to walk with me.
Everywhere on the trails you find benches, which were donated by people for various reasons. Most are there in memory of a loved one and the one we were going to was in memory of a certain René, so we just call it René’s bench.
We were not even sitting down for 5 minutes when Germaine walked past us, she was going skiing. We decided to keep her company. She’s only a beginner and have to stick to the small pistes and today all the kids have packed and she had it all for herself. Not all of Geert’s barrack is broken down and we could sit there. We enjoyed the sun, the view, had a good chat, but no beer this time.
Geert worked with Intersoc and decided to stay in the village. He has a small farm and come winter he opens a little barrack near the ski pistes, where you can drink something. It’s like a half-way between a good mountain walk and the hotel. In the afternoon you almost always find some people from the hotel there.
Winterseason's over and so Geert's place must be vacated too.
The holiday is over ...... till next time!
