Skiing trip Day 1

OK, I think this is the earliest I have got out of bed in years. 3:30 am wake-up in a hotel at Gatwick airport, 6:00 am flight to Zurich! Going skiing, for the first time in three years. Yay!

From Zurich we took a train to Austria - first following the long and narrow Zurichsee lake...


...and not long and we started seeing some snow-capped mountains.


..fields...


...and the motorway between us and the mountains.


Typical Swizz houses...


...a castle on a hill...


...all that just whizzing past our train window, and we were watching it with great anticipation. A couple hours later we arrived in Bludenz in Austria, took a taxi to Brand, hired our skis, bought our ski passes and hit the slopes! Whoo-hoo!
