Needed a holiday

6 months looking at the Mediterranean from the balcony was getting a bit much for me, and I felt like I needed a change of scenery. Actually, one of the reasons we chose the Costa D'Orada to stay in was so that we could drive up to Andorra to ski if the conditions were good. Storm Gloria that went through last week dumped about 1.5m of fresh snow in the pyrenees, followed by a few days of not too warm or sunny weather, so it was time to put the theory into practice. We got a last minute deal on an apartment in Soldeu for 4 nights midweek and drove up on Sunday afternoon after getting Campalot back in its mooring place, and so far its been great - snow is in really good condition and isn't doing the melt/freeze thing to form the ice that Andorra is so famous for, well groomed and being midweek its quite quiet on the lifts so not too much queueing.

I'll ski thursday morning then we will drive home again - should be about 3 1/2 hours and less than a tank of fuel for the round trip. I was last here in 1991 with Gary and it has changed a bit since then. Hopefully i'll be back again sooner than that if we get another batch of snow and good weather in the next couple of months...
