Ski Trip - France

In February 2010 8 of us headed to Les Arcs 2000, French Alps, for the annual ski trip. And what an amazing trip it was!!! The fantastic crew on the trip were: Me, Nic, Anita, Nicola Steele, Nick Kimber, Sandra, Linda Carter and Rob.

Not sure my skiing improved much but it was such a beautiful spot and so much fun was had by all... especially Apres skiing :)

mmmm.... snails! When in France, eat as the French do!

Iceland February 2010

Hi All, Sorry for being so quiet for so long... I have had a crazy start to 2010 but I am now getting back to updating my blog with all my travel tales.

Here are some photos from a 3 nights spent in Iceland with Nic, Anita, Laura and Cat. Even though we didn't have great weather and as such we missed out on seeing the northern lights we still had a great time. It is a really amazing and interesting place.

Photos from Reykjavik, Iceland (where we stayed).

Day trip
1st stop - the world famous geothermal area of Geysir
The whole area is a geothermal park sitting on top of a vast boiling cauldron. The area includes belching sulphurous mud pots of unusual colours, hissing steam vents, hot and cold springs, warm streams, and primitive plants.



Next stop Gullfoss Waterfall

And finally the tour went via Thingellir National Park - home of Iceland's first parliament - and also where Europe meets America at the Continental Divide.

Our last day was spent at the Blue Lagoon - absolutely amazing and so relaxing! Who would have thought we would go swimming outside when it was -ve temperatures (it even started snowing while we were there).

My aim is to update my blog more regularly I promise!!! I now need to update for my other trips already taken.

Miss you all
