glacier 3000!

so first of all...photos! having received an email from my dear father requesting photos, here are some - a pick and mix of the day up in the alps in the clouds, details and explanations to follow!



edit: so sunday morning started early once more..i piled on my hoodies, jeans and trainers (at the weekend this is allowed) to keep warm - checking the weather in advance is always a bonus!and i made sandwiches there were 8 of us - 4 girls from india, 1 from japan, 1 from the us, 1 from the uae and me. we took taxis to the train station and got on the first train which passed without troubles. the next train however...its a bit like going into sheffield station, you go in one way and come back the same way (at least when i go from notts-manc, thats the way it goes), except for the fact the trainline didnt go any further, so of course we thought - hmm this is early, but got off the train anyway - silly us considering the next train wasn't for another hour minimum! luckily a bus driver called us a taxi who took us to the place we were supposed to get off the train to wait for our next form of transport...a bus. the wait was long and cold, but probably nothing compared to what we had in store for us! i mean, i wasn't that cold, coming from england gives me an advantage over the others :) the bus only took ten minutes then we took a cable car miles up in the air to get to the glacier. we couldn't see anything because we were in the clouds and i had to buy a hat because my head was cold. we then took a ski lift down through the fog/cloud and there were these snow buses at the bottom, of which a picture is posted. we took a ride on that, which was such fun! we passed the huskies then turned round and stopped in the middle of nowhere and had a huge snowball fight, it was such fun! after some fun in the snow we took a husky sledge ride which was about 5 minutes, but really good fun, the sun came out and said hello for a few minutes, which was nice. then we went up in the ski lift again and had lunch in the self service restaurant because we had missed the bus by like 5 mins and on sundays everything is weird. a bit like in germany. we then took the cable cars back down, waited for the bus, took photos whilst we were waiting and then returned, staying on the train when we should have and we returned to school at about 5pm, having had a great day!
