Still in the office, but only minutes away from the weekend. And I was just thinking what I could to tonight. Watching TV is way too boring, going out is too much of a hassle, too much noise. The snow has temporarily melted and it is quite warm (+ 6 degrees C / 43 F), so I might throw my camping gas stove, a pan, a Swiss fondue cheese mix and bread in my backpack and enjoy a quiet dinner in the woods. A cool place along Lake Thun is the river delta of Kander. Only a few minutes outside the town boundries of Thun. Park your car in Einigen, you cannot miss the river as you cross it on the road. So simply follow it for about 0,5 miles until you reach the delta. It's no problem to find enough logs to make your own fire, the view (especially with full moon) overlooking the lake and the lights of the lake-side villages along the far side of the lake is great. Watch out for sudden floods due to local weather in the mountains and the impact of a power station further up.

Meiringen-Hasliberg
Sometimes one should not write too much, it would only spoil the image... enjoy - sorry for the poor quality, I took this pic with my mobile. Location: View on Lake Brienz (in fog) from Meiringen-Hasliberg, Alpine Tower Ski Region, Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
Woodchopping
Looking for a winter activity other than skiing, snowboarding, ice skating or snowshoeing. Well, what about helping out a friend chopping fire wood in the forest. Believe me, that is some serious fitness training, you're out in the woods, fresh air, a mug of hot coffee during the breaks... I've tried this alternative activity, heaven on earth, is all i can say.
