SKI TRIP!

Buon Giorno! As you all know, some very lucky year 7s and 8s went to Aosta Valley in Italy, for a fun packed week of skiing, and many brilliant activities in the evenings. When we first travelled there, it took much more time than we thought, taking a whole day! Well, 23 hours and 46 minutes to be exact. We first travelled from School to Dover, taking a little over 3 hours to get there. We then travelled from Dover to Calais for two hours, where a couple of people didn't really feel well- no more info on that. Anyway, it took 12 hours to get across France to Italy. Unfortunately, an hour later, just as we were almost at Aosta Valley, the water pipe snapped due to the extreme climate change. We had to wait two hours for another bus, and after that, we made it! We got everything fitted, then we made our way back to our hotel. It was a very good hotel, and the food was- well, plentiful. The problem was, most people got sick of the pasta after the 3rd day. The pizza was very nice. We had alot of fun, and I would like to thank all the teachers who helped us along the way, and to our instructors, who we hope had as much fun as we did!
