Verbier, Switzerland

After a morning at the Hotel Nevai Spa i took a short hike up to the Chapel of St Christophe. Only about 45 minutes north of the resort, it gives breath taking views of the valley. A large cross on the edge of a cliff and a small chapel reside at the top. The chapel is tiny inside and i was surprised to see it in use with burning candles and recent photo's of people passed on. My favorite was of a priest swinging a golf club. Nice swing.

Pre wedding drinks at Le Fer a Cheval a place known for it's pizza. In fact there are a lot of pizza places in Verbier which i found strange until i considered it's close proximity to the Italian border. I had been here in the winter season and it's a totally different atmosphere in the summer...no dancing on tables for me this time around.

Families and friends got together, many drinks were drunk and pizza's were eaten, pre wedding drinks are a great way to break the ice. As it was the last night before the wedding we made sure to whisk G away from C before midnight. I think G & I were the only ones to go home so early, G needed her beauty sleep before the wedding and i was terrified of having to drive a wedding party down the mountain on a red wine hangover. Sometimes i do the right thing, sometimes.
