Yep Zermatt. Weather was fantastic. Went on the Glacier Express and spent the night in St Moritz. In a little town called Wengen currently. Awesome views but the weather has closed in this morning.
Switzerland is as expensive as they come. The beer is the only half decent priced thing :)

What time of the year did you go to St Moritz?
I didn’t mind it but the place was empty and a lot of the shops weren’t open. I wouldn’t mind coming back at winter time as apparently the place is absolutely buzzing

A lot of shops and restaurants weren’t open and a few of the locals commented that many shut for Jun/Jul/Aug. Still a fantastic place and our room had great views of the lake

Phase 1 of operation "Boon family swimming pool" was completed a few months back ( cubby house removed, fencing extended etc )

Phase 2, the removal of some gum trees commences tomorrow morning.

Phase 3, the pool install looking like early September.

Phase 4, swimming in it, soon after.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Daughter getting 3rd in her footy association medal count in her 2nd season of footy and playing a year above her age group, I was very proud, she busts her arse out there, has no fear and has an excellent attitude, hopefully she can go two better next season.

Takes a while, probably longer than you expect, and many little milestones but we are here 98.74% complete.

Under no disillusions as to how long this is going to take, having renovated 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens I'm aware things :

1 - Never go as smoothly as you hope
2 - Never happen as quickly as you hope
3 - Always cost more than you expect
4 - Mrs Boon is extremely impatient
5 - I drink lots
6 - 5 has nothing to do with renovations
