Ski - We Made It
3am meet at the school and all seemed to be going well, but it did not take too long for things to change. All 40 Hyndland Heroes boarded the plane expecting to fly out to our Alpe destination (after Gabriel relocated his passport). After two hours of waiting in the plane before take-off, all 40 were promptly ushered off. The captain announced that due to a “small” engineering fault there will be a slight delay. 7 hours later and a number of athletic, card playing, gym and time passing games we boarded with delight back onto the plane. Despite the problems and difficulties everyone remained in high spirits and the cabin crew commented on how great we all were.
It wasn’t long before another problem occurred. To the sound of umms, errs and groans the captain informed the passengers that we were unable to land in our destination for a further 45 minutes. Finally landed in France to face the chaos of the baggage reclaim. Two hours on a bus and some slightly queasy travellers we arrived at out ski hotel the “Vallee Blanche.”
The team was greeted with smiles from our holiday hosts and welcomed in with a healthy dinner. The resort looks fantastic, the snow picturesque and we can wait to start skiing tomorrow!
