Lyon!! The food capital of France and possibly even Europe. The place where gastronomy was invented. The place where two rivers - The Saône and The Rhône - meet. It was also the place where we stayed in a fairly strange AirBnb. The listing said that breakfast was included however when Calvin hinted about breakfast, the hostess just showed him where the bowls and cutlery was.

Time to say goodbye to Les Deux Alpes this morning! Our key was being collected / chalet was being inspected at 9:00 so we packed up and cleaned this morning.

Jeroen did very well managing the tight hair pin turns of the alps! Once we got to Lyon airport it was time to say goodbye to Jeroen and Rianne as we had to pic...

We had our 4th lesson today so after breakfast we did the long hike again to the ski school starting point. The walk wouldn't be that long in normal shoes but in ski boots, whilst carrying the skis and sticks it's very arduous! We did experiment the previous day with putting our ski boots on once we got there but they were so difficult / painful to put on in the cold (apparently you should only ever put them on at the hotel where they are warm) so that was the en...
