Sandcastle's Dream: Surreal is ... Ski-ing on High Moutains @ Les Menuires, France

Yes I have been on the Ski Mountain and how can I not blog about it? I realise I have not really say anything about the Ski experience I have which to me is one of a lifetime kinda experience. I will never imagine myself on the moutains sking if its not for Jos. So yes it is a surreal experience. One that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Although Jos has promised a ski trip yearly but this experience seems like a dream come true and to think that I am going to have a dream come true every year... that is unbelieveable! haha... but yes I am looking forward to our next trip. This is the 5th year Jos has been on the Ski and It's my first, I hope by the 5th year I will be able to go on the Red Slopes! For now... I am happy to be on the green and maybe sometimes on the Blue.... still challenging for me!

Now back to where we stayed on the cold moutains. Jos' parents booked a Chalet that is privately owned by a Dutchman at the price of approximately EUR2500 for 6 days. We started our 10hrs drive from Jos' parents home @ Wijngarden (another beautiful place, which I should blog about in my next post!) at about 8am in the morning. The journey was pleasantly enjoyable not just because I am in the car with my love, the scenery along the way was way too beautiful and scenic. Love every bit of the ride on the highway. The only part that gets us frustrated was when we were stuck in a traffic jam somewhere at the bottom of the alps. Along the frustrating jam... I snap a few nice pics of France but its not with me now... so till next time! :)

We reached the Chalet at approximately 730pm and I awe in disbelieve when I enter the chalet. I will now let the pictures speaks its thousand words.. check it out now:

The Rooms! There were about 7 bedrooms in total and there was only 8 of us. So we have a few rooms spare. And on top of that.... we have a suana room and a bath tub attached to one of the room. The room is not a big one but it surely is cosy and nice especially with the wood finish, it gives me an authentic feel! Aren't you already feeling the authentic smell?? Oh and there was also a fireplace which I did not take a picture of! crap! =)

The next day... its time to get all our ski and ski boots rented and also check out the map of the alps. But before that.... breakfast!

Caught Jan Yawning! I love him.. he is truely a great guy!

Martin in Black and White strips ski jacket.. he is Jos' cousin and we took 2 ski lessons together! He is a super great guy. He learn really fast as he was alot more daring than I am... so by the 2nd lesson, he was already out on the blue slopes with the rest while me still trying out some simple blue slopes with Jos. Poor Jos has to take these unchallenging slopes with me and good thing he isnt complaining. Love him much!
