The snow has been falling in the Valais region of Switzerland, off and on, for the past five days. This has coincided with the visit of an ex-colleague of mine, Hamsa, who has travelled over from India, for two weeks work in the Nestlé Head Office in Vevey. It was her first trip to ‘HQ’ and I’d promised her that I’d show her a little bit of Switzerland whenever she came over.
So it was that we met up in Sion and took a walk up to the Chateau de Tourbillon, before taking the bus up to our chalet in Evolène. With temperatures well below zero, I think Hamsa found things a little bit different to her home near Bangalore.

Children soon started sledging down the snowy slope to the right.
I’m not quite sure why these were on a wall in Sion – but, hey, Happy Days!

Oh, just a little different than Bangladore (what would I know? You could tell me they were very similar and I would believe you!) really beautiful outing, it looks like.
And hey! The Fonz!

Yes, it was a very nice day. Hamsa and I had spoken on the phone many times, but we’d never met until today. So that made it very special. Even the Fonz would have approved! 🙂
