THE HOLIDAY'S OVER

Another beautiful day in the Alps.

Today is my last day here. I've spent the past two days studying, but today I'm going to enjoy myself. Happy New Year!

This is one of the kiosks you can find on the pistes.

Time for a break. Off with the skis :)

Ski-boots are uncomfortable :(

Wurst and sauer Kraut panini. Yummi!

Massive snowman near the ski-school.

I told you it was cold!

My aunt told me about a new refuge, which serves very good food at OK prices. You need to go down the red route... anything for food!

Not far to go...

Park your skis outside! (mine are the pink ones)

There it is! "La Gusa" (there should be an umlaut on the u, but this stupid blog doesn't work...)

The view from the terrace is stunning :)

You can eat outside...

Or inside...

The view from the window...

A warm fire...

Wine selection and home-made cakes...

Venison stew and buckwheat polenta...

Pizzoccheri...

After such lovely food I was rolling down the piste... my God, I think I ate a bit too much...

And finally the official drink of this holiday: BOMBARDINO! When you are cold and tired this will certainly pick you up. Bombardino is made of hot Vov, brandy and cream on top. I love it!!!

(Vov is a liqueur made of white marsala and eggs, just in case)
Happy 2011! I'll be back soon :)
