My first flight since returning from Ottawa in Feb 2020, just before Covid hit.
6:30 - Passenger Cars taxi to Terminal 1 (£19).
Usual problems for me getting through security. I forgot that a Kindle is an electrical item that needs to go through separately. Anyway, plenty of time, and Sue is able to get the boarding pass QR codes on her phone. My android phone doesn't show them.
Gate 24 at T1 for the 8:45 Swiss Air to Zurich on a cool, overcast morning.
Castlefield Gardens booked for 15 March.
Airbus A320 not full.
Smooth flight and easy train ride to Kandersteg and our base for the week, Seiler's Vintage Hotel, reached at 4:30.

By 5:30 Sue had explored the sauna, and we had admired views up and down the valley from our luxurious room. It's supposed to be a cross country skiing trip, but it looks as if we'll be doing more walking than skiing.
Nice four course meal at the hotel before writing this (not without 'technical' difficulties), and crashing out.

My first trip to Switzerland was to Kandersteg with the school. Lovely place. It’s a pity about the lack of snow for your planned cross country skiing but I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourselves as usual.
Thanks Gibson, we'll make the best of it. I've been here a few times before, starting with the Alpine Pass Route in 1981, with memorable daily readings from Showell Styles' 'Backpacking in the Alps and Pyrenees'.
