Flore and Christian were kind enough to invite us and some other friends for a weekend of skiing to Megeve. So without hesitation we booked an Easyjet flight to Geneva, and off we went.
As often, our voyage was an eventful one, with a 2-hour delay. After this we spent about 2 hours in Geneva in the rain, trying to meet up (and failing) Matsuoka, who had been sightseeing (= been in the pub) in Geneva all day. Anyway, to cut a long story short, Flore and Christian ended up picking us from Geneva and driving us to Megeve, because there were no more buses...
The next couple of days were rainy and misty, so none save Christian (brave fool) went skiing. But we compensated for this lack of sports activity by eating some of the diet food of Savoy (I'm being ironic here), and of course enjoying vast quantities of the local wines as well! Well we had to, since it was Lilian's birthday!
On Sunday we actually did go skiing (Nick was especially motivated, wearing a crash helmet 'n all) - it was a perfect day for it, with a clear blue sky. Well, most of us did, anyway ;-)
And last but certainly not least, below, the birthday hero, "1-year old, no longer bald, still can't walk but he surely can talk" :-)
