We love to go wandering.....

Since our original plans of heading to Italy for a few days were put on hold...due to the cars dash board having a few to many lights flashing and is only able to be checked out after the kids start school. We thought we would crack into a few of the walks up in the hills behind our house.

We choose a simple 5.5km loop promising spectacular views and a few hours adventuring as a family. So we packed up a picnic lunch and headed for the hills.

The kids and I have managed to meet lots of great people and see and do a lot of wonderful things while Tim was preparing the New Zealand team for the Olympics, but it was really special to be discovering new areas of Leysin with him as a family.

As promised the meadows were bathed in beautiful sunlight, sweet petite wild strawberries and raspberries bordered the well maintained paths and the grand forest sections provided some much needed shade and even an educational yarn or two from Tim to keep the kids on their toes.

 

 

 

Jack and Jess are starting to learn and understand the rules of hiking, and respect for the weather and its ability to change with in minutes, that it wont be long before we can adventure further into the mountains surrounding the Berneuse (2042m above sea level).
