    Today was my first ski day in Zermatt. I think Schaffhausen is that direction. LOL

    Bill

    P.S.

    I am still pondering all the great Portuguese we saw last week in Geneva. What a wonderful experience

    I think it is about 180 degrees the other way

    Matterhorn is about to the South West from Zermatt, Schaffhausen about to the North East. So, you may reach Schaffhausen when travelling the way you indicated, but it might be al long travel. Enjoy your stay in my favourite holiday resort! And gee, it must be horrible to see all those IWC AD's without seeing those new watches!

    Kind regards,

    Be safe Bill. Enjoy...

    Thanks for all the photos last week too.

    Enjoy the skiing- what a fabulous venue.

    I need 3 weeks with my trainer before I dare take to the slopes.

    A hint

    Hi Bill I am sure you don't need any directions to find your way but
    first picture was in Zurich Kloten on Friday 15th Jan while the second in Schaffhausen factory main entrance two days later and just one day before SIHH as indicated.

    Best regards
    Argiris

    Have a good hiliday Bill!

    As for your question about directions: that's not my strongest point and I am very happy that GPS is readily available now :-)

    Kind regards,

    What is a hiliday? :-)

    I noticed the typo just when I had clicked on the Send button.

    Maybe a hiliday is a holiday in the hills, but I think a hill is an understatement here :-)

    Kind regards,

    Clemens
