Austria is fantastic.. i love the place, so much so i'll be going back next yr. Don't knock it till you try it mate..</p> </p>
i did the Italian side of the Dolomites Went through Switzeland but did the mountain passes on the Italian side, i also did Mendel, awesome..</p> </p>
Just seen my mates piccies..switzerland though is awesome Skied in Cervinia, on the Italian side of the Matterhorn. Crossed over to the Swiss side, Zermat, and went up a lift to the top of the the piccalo cervinio or little matterhorn.</p> A clear day and I could see a vast proportion of the Swiss alps..it was like an epiphany to me. I wept in the face of our hideous insignificance. It was a moment I will never forget.</p> The Bernese Oberland is also magnificent. I stayed in Grindlewald under the Eiger Nordwand...6000ft of shear rock. Went on a train upto the Jungfraujoch and walked on a glacier upto 12000ft..mindblowing. sadly all my photos are merely the old fashioned type otherwise I would post a few.</p> http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/gds/thibaud/Gifs/eiger.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/gds/thibaud/post-cards.html&h=682&w=1024&sz=412&hl=en&start=25&tbnid=2bjvhC42Lig1IM:&tbnh=100&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Deiger%26start%3D18%26ndsp%3D18%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN</p> http://www.swisspanorama.com/html/jungfrauso.html</p> I would dearly love to spend a year touring the alps in summer and skiing in winter. I have to make do with the occaisional week.</p> I meant definition 2 or 3!</p> Epiphany <li type="a">A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi. <li type="a">January 6, on which this feast is traditionally observed. A revelatory manifestation of a divine being. <li type="a">A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something. <li type="a">A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: “I experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself” (Frank Maier). </p>
