The weather gods smiled on us today – we had a perfect ‘blue bird’ day. Blue skies and sunshine all day. Unfortunately we didn’t have any fresh snow to go with the great weather so conditions varied from outright icy in the morning to mogully and slushy in the afternoon. Not that I’m complaining you understand, just stating the facts.
The body’s been taking a beating over the past few days. My muscles are tired, but not as sore as I expected. I took a tumble on the ice this morning and landed hard on my right wrist and butt. Wasn’t sure if it was broken right away (the wrist, not the butt), but it’s been getting better all day so it should be okay.
Got back to the UCPA lodge this afternoon to find it was ‘crepe night’. Make your own crepes/pancakes with jam, sugar and butter as toppings. They had these little crepe makers with four hotplates (each about 10cms in diameter) and ready made crepe mix. You could make as many as you could eat. I’m not greedy so I only had five.
Speaking of food, the meals haven’t been too bad. Every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is a serve yourself buffet. They have freshly baked French sticks with every meal and you can have as much as you want. For lunch and dinner they also have a cheese bar – camembert, swiss, brie… the best bit is the dessert bar – all you can eat ice cream (about 10 flavours), plus nightly specials such as chocolate pudding, custard etc.
We’re heading out for a good old Swedish ‘pubrunda’ (or pub crawl) tonight. The main reason for this seems to be that there are no ski lessons tomorrow morning, only the afternoon session. Apparently this is a perfect reason to go out drinking!
The weather looks to be going downhill later in the week. Tomorrow should be another nice day, but then Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all predicted to be snowy, windy and cold. The snow and cold I can handle, but the wind will make for some unpleasant conditions. The aim is to make the most of the good weather while it lasts…
