Today was mixed on the weather front, with light snow in the morning and sunny skies in the afternoon.
So, we went for breakfast at our favourite and very French cafe. Heather came with us (dogs are allowed in all the main cafe's) and she had to sit through glares from the resident cat.
We had also noticed that the DVD was not working, so Adam (the owner) gave us the green light to purchase a new one on his behalf. We managed to get a Sony for under 70 Euro in the sale.
We decided to visit Tignes, travelling to Les Breviere (30 minutes from the Apartment). We skied over to Tignes Centre and took the worm (the train that travels inside the mountain to the top) up towards the glacier. This thing is amazing, speeding to the top like a London tube (pat you'd hate it!!), but far more pleasant. When we got near the top it was very windy, so we decided not to go to the very top.
The skiing was OK, but compared to other resorts it was busy, the snow was less forgiving and the lifts very slow.
Come 3PM there was a dramatic drop in temperature. We headed back over to Les Breviere, planning to ski over there. However, once we had reached base camp, it was so cold we decided to drive back to Bourg. When we arrived at LB, it was plus five degrees, by the time we left it was minus two.
It has been good to have a couple of weeks to settle in on our own. we have both felt quite tired and both have dry eyes etc. which is probably down to the altitude.
