Flat and steep

Anders and I made two nice lodging improvements this week. First we moved from Holland House (which probably is an improvement no matter where your next lodging will be) to the institute flat of SLF. Nice, somewhat unclean but newly renovated and shared with 6 other masters. But then something had been missing in the communication and they where sooo sorry that we had to move to the House of Three Flowers (suiting name, huh?) in an own apartment. So, now we live in an own small flat, just 2 minutes from the office. And for the price of maybe a fourth of a normal flat in Davos. We're happy =)

On thursday we had a whole day with a mountain guide from Davos. He learn us how to move in steep terrain. Sounds maybe a bit ridicuolous but it was actually quite interesting (and we toperoped a 4- in mountaineering boots =) The steepness of the flower mountains will hopefully increase from now on. On monday it will be botanizing in a harness! Yee ha.

Today we sportsclimbed on a sunexposed limestone rock in Schmitte. I estimate the temperature to be around 50 degrees there. Awful. But quite nice crag, even if i only climb easy stuff still. And beautiful butterflies.

Now we'll enjoy a beer on our new balcony.
