Skiing... (day2)

We decided to take a bus to the far end of the valley, and ski back....



Eager Anticipation again...!?

Quickly up high...


... and higher ...

... to the top!



We all made it!

Working on the tan.

A natural half pipe.

Getting some air.!!

Way to go Sophie!!!



End of a long day on the snow - a dash back to the other end of the valley, and catch the bus back to Briançon.




Skiing...

Anticipation of a good day to come.

Challenging time at breakfast....

Apparently you make your tea in something approaching the size of a small bucket....

The Drive to Briancon/Serre-Chevalier (Saturday 11th)

Bit of a long drive from Thuir to Briançon (advertised at 6 hours; would have been about 4.5 hours; ended up around 6 hours due to two traffic jams - "volume of traffic" would have been the excuse in the UK).

Château de Tallard



Sisteron Cathedral

Lac de Serre-Ponçon

Traffic!!!!

Bridge over Lac de Serre-Ponçon (if you look carefully, you can see the cars!!)






You never know when you might need a church......on a hill......



Getting towards Briançon.....
