somewhere a door-buzzer is doing its job…repeatedly…with a jolt i’m wide awake: it’s our door-buzzer! rats! i get out of bed, jump into my trousers and rush to the door…over the intercom it’s the deep voice of our postman: an express delivery! the downstairs door seems to be still locked, requiring me to grab my keys and run down to let him in: instead of the anticipated swiss maps it’s the replacement keyboard cover for my X60s (which started disintegrating last three days ago) from the IBM spare parts center…
today we are going downtown to buy rain covers for our rucksacks as well as a day rucksack for dorothee. after a long breakfast we are finally off and take the bus and tram to eiselin sport (where we get everything we wanted), then continue to orell-füssli to look for some decent C# books (no decent ones to be had) — our attempt to have cup of coffee at the hiltl fails miserably: they have not yet reopened 
duh, so we retreat back home.
for tomorrow we originally had an afternoon walk in mind — however! — i’m itching to do another snow shoe trail (sst) and remember that our alpine consultant mr r once mumbled something about the glaubenberg area. a look at the globaltrail pages tells us that the trail langis–jänzi–langis trail seems to be open, the web cam shows that they do have snow (at least the area the web cam is covering…). so, we decide to skip tomorrow’s worship service and take the train to lucerne and then to sarnen and the post bus up to langis! let’s see how that works out!
