OFF-PISTE FUN IN INTERLAKEN

BY WIBKE CARTER
o you need a penguin?" a blond Swiss
woman shouts at me as she elegantly
"Dwhizzes past. For a moment, I’m con-
fused about what she’s referring to but then I recall
the skating aids for small children at the entrance to
the rink. Clearly, my disgraceful wobbles and arm pad-
dling cause concern in the general public but I'm hav-
ing so much fun! After not having ice skated for over
fifteen years every round on the frozen element is a
brush with treasured childhood memories.
