CHF 10
Noah and I headed up the Gurten again today. But this time ... Skifahren! It's finally officially open. CHF 5 for the skis, CHF 5 for the Liftkarte. Wow. Hours of entertainment. Total. Noah. Exhaustion. He's asleep on the couch right now.Two "runs" if you can even call them that. Tow ropes that are fairly easy for 3.5 year olds to figure out. And not very crowded. Took about 15 minutes to rent the skis and be out skiing.
We had a great time. Too tired even for a cookie inside afterwards.

Migro's (Delivers)
Back in the "old" country we used a service called Simon Delivers. We tried it out, did it a few times but it really became more of a hastle than it was worth. So we dropped it. As did a lot of people I guess as they went out of business.
Now that we have a brand new babychen we decided to try out the CH equivalent. Even though we are normally a COOP household, Alison did it through Migros - LeShop.ch. Why? They do English so Alison can do it all without my mad Übersetzer props. Plus, COOP site wasn't working at the time. We only signed up yesterday morning, and roughly 10 bags were delivered (by the Swiss Post) at about 8.15 this morning. And now I don't need to schlepp those 6-packs of water 6 blocks all the time.
Somewhat odd experience - it was far too easy.
We signed up only yesterday. There are various payment options. We chose paperless which means we get an email eventually that tells us we have a bill online. We go to the site, get the payment info and then pay it directly via the bank. When the food was delivered, I didn't need to sign for anything. Guy just drops of the food, "merci, adieu", we're done.
Yay easy shopping!

Grindelwald Winter Wunderland
Noah and I headed up to Grindelwald this past Sunday. Spent the time on the train doing sticker books, telling stories from our heads and watching a little Fairly OddParents (the iPhone is Gods gift to 3.5 year olds on train rides).
We didn't go skiing though - just wanted to check everything out. Headed up on the BOB (Berner Oberland Bahn) which is an older style train that switches from normal self-propelled motion to cable or cog-wheel or something (at times it is far too steep for the train to do it alone). We had lunch in town and then walked around a bit. One can rent sleds, take the bus up the mountain and sled down, or walk a few blocks and jump on the chair lifts to hit the slopes. We played in the snow a bit and then headed to the sport center and warmed up a bit. After a few hours we jumped back on the train and headed back down the mountain and back home.
