We're in Flaine


We have had a fabulous first full day after a very mixed arrival day. We had to get up by 3.30am to get to the airport in time, so we felt like zombies all day. We arrived to bright sunshine though, and loads of snow. we got here just in time for lunch and got kitted out in a deserted ski hire shop - bliss!

There are a couple of free lifts here so we were even able to have a quick ski in the afternoon. We were all pretty tired though, so not sure it was such a good idea - Joe was a bit wobbly and forgotten some of his moves.

Another downside was that Cath Rich and her hubbie Chris and their kids Ruby and George were going to come and ski with us, but Ruby was unwell yesterday and George and Cath have caught it today. Quelle domage! We may seem them in the week but I'm not sure - the kids will have school I expect.

Today was a little bit snowy and overcast. The snow is fantastic but we had flat light which makes it difficult to see the piste. Joe and Luke had great instructors and Joe was back on form again by the time we joined up at lunchtime. We had laugh on the sleds to wind off the afternoon.

Here are some pics.
