Thursday 2nd January – walk *** Bourg St. Maurice
Good job we had decided not to go up – we woke up to really hard rain and
low visibility down here in Bourg and we couldn’t even see the mountains.
It turned to snow at times and there was quite a bit of snow up on the
slopes. The others left at the usual time but we had a lie in and read,
then had breakfast, went for a swim (60 lengths) and a hamam steam room:)
After lunch it faired up and we went for a walk along the river which is
only about a 100 metres from the Apartments. We walked through the woods
and along the river, took a short cut through the gravel works (luckily
closed today so no workmen!) and across the sluice where the water was
roaring through!! We followed the road round, past horses and under the
funicular. We waited ages to take a photo with the reflection of the
funicular in the river but after all that wait we just missed it being
perfect! We walked through the station and up into the town where a man
was getting around 6 huge blocks of ice out of his van ready to make ice
sculptures. We had a bit of a window shop and popped into the patisserie
to get a raspberry/myrtle cake to eat on the way back:) Back to the
apartment where poor old lee had returned because he is feeling very
poorly:( He went straight to bed. Simon and Natasha cooked tea.
