Grindelwald pass-time


I was so psyched! I took the kids to a curling class! I would describe this sport as the equivalent of pétanque, bowling, archery and house cleaning on ice rinks. You have to sliiiiide the rock to the center of the bull's eye. Certainly don't try to pick it up, as it weighs more than most people! And you definitely do not want to break one, as it will cost you CHF 700.- to pay for a new one. This is serious business! Oh and it is slippery and cold too! I recommend this to anyone who has the time to try it. The kids actually did not look at their phones or games for the hour we spent here (well, maybe there was no wifi connection on the rink!?!)
