White New Year







It didn't snow on Christmas Day so I'm still dreaming of a white Christmas...but we got plenty of snow for NYE. We booked a restaurant in the ski village of La Bresse. We didn't realise when we booked it from the Netherlands, that the altitude of the restaurant was 1000m, and we pretty much had to drive up a mountain to get there, and the restaurant was on an unsealed road covered in ice and snow!! Yikes. So what goes up must come down. It snowed during the evening, making us even more nervous about the descent. We slowly and carefully made our way down at a pace no faster than 20km/hr and we very grateful for the winter tyres that we had put onto the car a few weeks earlier. The meal itself was delicious but next time we book something in a ski resort, we'll be checking on the altitude.
