Bourge St Maurice


























Spent the last two days staying with Ciarans parents who have looked after us so well. We were all so tired when we arrived and are now feeling so much better. Comfortable beds, fabulous meals and lovely company. Went with a drive with Ciaron yesterday to Val'd'sere about an hours drive away. A ritzy high class ski resort town. For a cool 2.5 million euros you to could own a 3 bedroom apartment only metres from the ski lifts. Drove further up the pass to the snow line to see the large cliffs of snow.
In afternoon went for a drive up the other side of the valley to the start of a 6 hour day tramp. Came across a herd of cows with the cowbells on. About 100 cows making a chorus of noise from the bells. Certainly would not want to be in a house next to the cow paddock. Today went to the slalom site to watch the guys train. They are looking pretty good in their boats and roll on Seu Spain .
Leave for Spain tomorrow. About a 7 hour drive.
