This time next week, we will already have been on the road for a while, headed to Locarno, Switzerland. I think we’re all really looking forward to the trip now although it will be interesting to see if any of us still remember how to climb since it’s been nearly a year since we last went. But it’s usually like riding a bike so I think we should all do fine. And we’ve been climbing here before so that should help us out. Besides, when we went last year, we had only been once in the previous 6 months so I guess we’re not so bad off. To say that it’s going to be awesome when we finally have our own climbing hall at the farm is an understand.

Anyway, Jenny is coming over tonight and tomorrow we’ll go buy new shoes for her. She has climbing shoes but they are massively uncomfortable as climbing shoes are “supposed” to be. But after climbing a few routes, her feet look and feel like they’re going to fall off and we just can’t have that. We will be looking to climb most of the day and we don’t want her to have to sit out most of the fun. Last year we gave her new shoes as a birthday present but haven’t had the chance to buy them for her yet…so this will be the weekend since there won’t be time otherwise.
We’ve got the climbing guide ready to go and already have our apartment reservation as well. We’re staying at same place as last year and are really looking forward to the pasta and especially the ice cream! πŸ™‚
