It was my first time
on the slopes here on Saturday! What an experience! I’m afraid to say that the
snow wasn’t great as there hasn’t been any fresh snow for about a week and so
towards the bottom, there were a few rocky patches! I got up at 5.45am after a
late night the night before celebrating the last Friday in Grenoble for one of
my friends. That meant not much sleep and then a very twisty bus journey! Not
the best start to the day! However, when we got up there we hired skis and got
on with it. I wouldn’t be exaggerating when I say that I spent more time on my
bum than on my feet! The first slope I ended up rolling down the hill! Not fazed,
I stood up and got to the bottom. The next slope, I decided was too challenging
for me and so sat down and slid down it! However, I did not realise that one of
my skis would escape me in this process! So whilst I was sliding down the hill
and scrambling after my ski, there was a class of people standing watching, and
laughing! At least they had some enjoyment out of my way to get down a slope!
After many more falls and tumbles, and some success at getting down slopes on
my feet, it was time to get the bus back! Needless to say, I was exhausted and
couldn’t wait to get into bed that night!
On Sunday, we decided
to go ice skating! It was very busy but it was fun to go skating again and do
something different. That evening we all met up to exchange our secret santa
gifts and to go out for a meal. It was a great way to finish off a lovely
weekend!
This week is time to
organise everything ready to go home, do some studying and enjoy the Christmas
atmosphere!
