Woodcarvers and Cholerenschlucht

Here lately we've been doing quite a bit of cooking and cleaning and not much else. We haven't had a programme for two weeks, so things have been somewhat uneventful.

So last Wednesday, the 17th, we were surprised with a hike to the woodcarver's hut. We needed to go on it so we could lead the hike the following week for the Friends of Our Chalet week.

So we went, and so did my knee. But it was worth it. I finally got a woggle for my scarf - a woggle is a wooden "bead" that slides on your scarf. The one I got has the trefoil - the universal scouting and guiding symbol - and on the back, the woodcarver burned my name into it. I'm very proud of it.

On the way back down we went to Cholerenschlucht - try to say that three times fast - which is this huge gorge. It was absolutely beautiful.

It turned out to be a beautiful day and we all had a great time. It was much needed after all the housework we'd been doing. And it was a good hike to test my knee and how it was recovering. It's not. Well it is, but I won't be hiking down any big ass Alps any time soon. But I'm happy to see the gorges too.
