Default Working in Davos, Switzerland at the moment... *pics!*

Working all week (well until next Monday!) in Davos, Switzerland and managed to sneak out for a few hours yesterday to have a bit of a wander!!

Got a few pics on my way!! Views are amazing up high (took a train / cable up there). No skiing yet but hopefully will be finished with work on Friday so have all weekend to take to the slopes!!!!

Not a pro (or even amateur!!) photographer but tried my best!

Pics.... View from my hotel window!



Up the mountain...











Couple from the centre of town...




Is fookin cold outside at the moment, about -5 as we speak!!!!!

I'd LOVE to be ski-ing right now............... not this season, but next year though..............

Maria - if you think -5 is cold, last time I went I was on top of Mont Blanc and it was -27.................it was so cold the air was freezing into crystals in front of your eyes. It looked fantastic !!!!

Nice pictures Temperature is about the same as here in Norway where I live. Judging by the town centre pictures, we've got about the same amount of snow as well.

Been driving there yet?

Off to Chamonix in 5 weeks cant wait . Taking the wife and our 5 year old for the first time so staying in a catered chalet and the little one and the wife are off to ski school while i get some time on the slopes, will be great to be on a mountain again instead of indoor slope in Manchester.
