Well, time to go again :D

After Malta and Denmark after lunch I'll fly to GENEVA :beer:

Final destination Champery ( www.champery.ch (http://www.champery.ch) ) ... see you again at my return (7th January :whistling:)
Champéry, a ski resort with an altitude of 1,050 meters in the canton of Valais, is nestled at the bottom of the Dents du Midi and Dents Blanches mountains in the heart of the 'Portes du Soleil ski area'. Historically, tourism here dates back to 1857. This date marks the opening of the first hotel in Champéry, the Hôtel des Dents-du-Midi. This makes Champéry one of the oldest touristic sites in Switzerland.

Both a charmingly authentic village and a multi-faceted tourist resort, Champéry will win your heart with its traditional and well-preserved architecture. The village street is lined with chalets typical to the region and remarkable for their sculpted balconies and « toits en sifflet » (rooflines which project like bellows).

In under 5 minutes, a cable car will whisk you away to the “Portes du Soleil” ski area which offers more than 650 km. of ski slopes for wintersports lovers and 580 km. of walking and all-terrain biking trails in summer.

So, where's the video to download? :lol:

BTW, yesterday I crossed from Poland to Belarus and back to St.Petersburg. I saw just some snow (really few) around St.Petersburg, and no snow anywhere else. What a strange season! :jump:

None! :p Just go and make the photos yourself! :D Anyway, Polish girls are cute, there are so many types from charming blondies to dark mystic brunets, so anyone should see them for real. :eek: Russian and Belarusian girls... well, not that bad too. See by yourself, at last! :p

Well, but the "extreme" colours of their hair are often rather the results of hair paint (ab)use :-P

Anyway, the colors are not that extreme, they look usually real, while you can meet girls with really crazy hair colors in other countries (especially in the North). :lol: Polish girls are also not very obsessed with tatoo, african plaits and piercing (as most of Slavic girls, in fact), and I find it to be their advantage. :) May be I'm too old but I hate this scarecrow style. :lol:
