The Big Red Van's First Adventure
We have just returned back to Chalet Anniek after two nights in the campervan, one day out skiing Val Thorens and a drive to Annecy and back. And... we made it! Without any major problems or breakdowns - touch wood. Bit of a problem with the oil but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
So we started out on Monday, after I had scrubbed it up a bit, packed in a duvet and a couple of extra pillow, skis down the middle and a change of clothes. Destination: La Tania. Kaite had let us know that herself and her parents were skiing up in Val Thorens the next day and suggested we go out with the La Tania seasonaire crew that night. Meeting lots of friendly people meant we didnt get back to the comfort of the van in its car-park campsite until half one, affecting the next morning's wake-up as Kaite had to phone us at 9 to get us out of bed!
Weather today and yesterday has been perfect. VT was gorgeous, the snow was good and the lake at Annecy gave the drive back into the mountains a renewed glory. The sun is just setting in the biggest red blanket all around the hills and we are quite pleased to be back relaxing on our week off.
