Birthday and Wedding

Last Thursday I had my 31st birthday :) We had lunch at Chioccolino's, one of the restaurants that is still open. It is springtime in Davos that means all shops and restaurants are closed untill June. In the afternoon I left for Zug where I had a nice Birthday dinner with Siebren. We went for sushi!!! It was lovely, hadn't had any for a long time. We've had a very nice evening :)

Friday we were invited for the civil wedding of Markus and Petra in Lucerne. It was a very nice day. The ceremony was very short (they have a real wedding in May). After we went for drink at Montana, one of the higher situated hotels in Luverne with a great view!! After that we walked to the KKL where we had drinks (again) at the roof patio with a beautiful view. We also got a tour through the KKL, a beautiful building, and then we had dinner at the 'RED' . It was excellent! After dinner we had a drink at the Seebar and then we caught the last train back to Cham. We had a great evening, but I had very sore feet :(

Saturday I had a small B'day party, also a nice evening, and I got this beautuful Japanese teapot:) Been wanting one for a long time :)

Today we had a lazy day. The weather was beautiful and we went for a short walk. My blisteres hadn't recovered yet, so we kept it short. We enjoyed the sun a bit on my balcony, but it was very warm there... But nice.... Tonight we played with my new pasta machine (B-day gift from Siebren). This pasta machine is special, you can also make ravioli with it, so that's what we tried. It took a short while before we managed to make nice ravioli, but we figured it out, and in the end we had very tasty and nice ravioli :)

So, all in all, a great weekend :)

Last ski weekend???

The last weekend is probably the last ski weekend here in Davos. It is getting warm here (about 18 degrees) and the snow is melting rapidly :(

The plan was for me to go to Zug last weekend, but I was a bit ill on Wednesday, and to fit enough to go to Zug on Thursday and have dinner with Phillipp and Nathalie. Siebren had an appointment on Friday, so he arrived in the evening in Davos, with his brother Meindert. we've had 3 days of good snowfun! Some friends of Siebren were also in Davos, so we've met with them as well. Saturday Siebren's parents also came to Davos and we had a nice dinner at the Schatzalp panorama restaurant!

On Sunday we had luch all together at the 'chicken hut' :) The weather was a bit less on Sunday, but we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy lunch outside in the sun :)

So, even though my easter weekend started with illness, I had a great weekend :)

I have put some pics on the Dutch blog! Also check out the easter bunny Siebren brought me :p

PS. The good thing about this warm weather is that I can go biking at lunchtime :)

Apres ski

Some people go skiing and go for apres ski afterwards. Others only come to Davos to apres ski.... That means, sleeping in, eating lunch and then go to the bar!!!! THE place to go for apres ski in Davos is Bolgen Plaza! This is right at the bottom of the piste at Jakobshorn.

Siebren and Markus have the tradition to apres ski once a year. For this reason, Markus came to Davos 2 weeks ago. The weather wasn't that nice for skiing, and I was a bit curious, so I decided to join them. I have to admit that I had fun, but it isn't really my thing. I think I am getting old!!!!

HCD

Hockey Club Davos had won the Swiss Hockey championship!! I went to the first of in the end 7 play-off games together with Thomas. It was a very exciting game :) Davos has won all the home games of the series!!! (pics on Dutch Blog)

Visit of my parents

On March 16th my parents arrived in Davos, and me and my dad went night skiing that same night! I went snowboarding, because I hadn't done it in a while, and my dad skied. It went well right away, even though the piste wasn't very easy.

On Saturday, we went to Cham to meet Siebren's parents (Petra and Sipke) and to do some sight seeing. First we went to Zug to check out the beautiful old city centre. I had never been there before, and really enjoyed it :) In the evening we went for dinner at Siebren's parents. It was a good night :)

Sunday we went to Lucerne. The weather was nice so we did some sight seeing on the way. We drove along the lake of Zug and a bit along the lake of Luverne. Lucerne is a beautiful old city. Have a look at some pics!

In the evening we drove back to Davos and had some pizza there :)

Catch up

Yeah, I know, I am very ashamed.... Do I have an excuse?? Not really.... I've been busy, a bit sick (again), but mostly lazy, I'm afraid.... Now I have the problem that I am not sure where to start... Hmmm, I guess with the visit of my parents.
