We all woke up, frozen! It was around -10 temperature. We opened the curtain and discovered a beautiful mountain covered in snow, at right next to us! No wonder we was so cold - the milk in fridge was even frozen! We got ready... As Charlene start the engine, but nothing came on, it was dead. We asked someone who drove past us to help. He said that the battery is dead. We all pushed the camper-van (yes the three tonnes vehicles!), but no news! Understandably the...

To go to toilet, we has to go through outside tunnel which have temperature of a freezer! At 8am we all woke up, with stiff in our bones, shivering! Lov...

We are schedule to leave at 4.25pm, but as we arrived, the chart stated that our flight is delayed to 10.20. We was so gutted, but nothing can be done.
