And then there was snow....




It all started on Tuesday when we went riding and were snowed on....we got home and then the snow really started, a bit of a treat for this little Aussie who hasn't seen much snow falling in her years so it was a little bit of a thrill. The snow continued through the night and we awoke to more big snowflakes falling so we decided to drive up to the closest ski-resort town of Oberhof which is 30km away. I started taking photos half-way through the drive when I saw all the snow on the big pine trees.....funny when I look at them now, because there was so much more snow up in Oberhof. It is amazing to think we rode up there last Friday and the sun was shining down on us......We had a snow-ball fight, ran around in the snow a bit and then recovered with coffee and apple-strudel in a 'traditional' style German Schaenke (like a restaurant/bar kind of place), very old-school with old German music adding atmosphere.
This morning we woke to the village being white, this bottom photo is the view from Gunnar's window....I think it is another day for the ergo and then some sledding is on the cards up in the mountains...

Hello Natty,
The snow looks just lovely. I'm sure all of us in Sydney would trade our current far too warm, far too humid last couple of days for a little bit of whiteness. Hello to Gunnar. CB&GB
