This is a short blog, as we have done much the same things, basically skiing and walking. But here goes for a little bit of detail:
Our last two weeks in the French Alps,
Managed a few good days skiing, the weather was better (for snow) than forecast. Daytime blue skis and cold nights, however it was still a little warm for the snow on the lower slopes, so we had to stay high for a better ski experience.
As there is no snow at village/valley level, we have managed a lot of walking down by the river.
Even Rog partook in the sauna and cold water dip, but only on one occasion, Nic has been going weekly.
Returned to La Sapinette restaurant, our favourite local restaurant, which thankfully is also our closest restaurant. Another really good meal.
Obviously spent some time packing up, we have both brought far too many clothes, and have only worn a fraction of them, however they all need packing up again. Note to ourselves, just because we have the space in the car, we don’t need to fill it!
Getting everything back in the car is like a game of Tetris, there is plenty of room for everything, but we do like to see out of the back window if we can, it just makes driving easier, especially on the wrong side of the road.
So we left the apartment on Saturday 29 March, a day earlier than planned, as the weather forecast was terrible. So rather than packing the car in the rain (or sleet/snow depending on which weather app you believe), we packed up and have driven half way up France to Troyes. This gives us a day to explore, before heading to Le Shuttle on Monday back to the UK.
We are in basic hotel in the outskirts of Troyes, we have just been for dinner, an OK American grill, in the hotel car park there are 8 cars, 5 of them are British cars and of those three of them, including ours are large Volvos!!
