Skiing, Meribel, France: 11th-18th March 2007

I had never been skiing, and now Im not sure if I could live with myself if I never went again.We had the most amazing week, barely a cloud in the sky everyday, nice ski instructor, food cooked for us every day and nothing at all to complain about (except maybe 7 euro pints!).It was simply fantastic.I had never being skiing before so Diana and I did lessons together which were really good and by the end of the week we were comfortable of greens and trying a few blues.There weren't many set backs really, except for extreme muscle soreness every morning, and my spectacular face plant at high speed on Wednesday, but I got over that by getting back out there.Not much more to say except possibly the best holiday I've ever had (Croatia?), and thanks to Adam and Rachel for organising the whole thing.
