During our motorhome tour of Europe we detoured- into the Alps. It was only as we approached that we realised it was March (duh!) and there was a lot of snow!! Luckily, we carry snow chains- although we never needed to use them. We also have decent all-weather tyres- as we often find ourselves in crazy places!!
Mexico, we're still down in Mexico
I cannot deny, I cannot deny
We're talking about a good time
We're chasing every moment, all the good nights
We're always looking out and it's a good life
We go around the world for a show, oh, oh, oh
And it's a good time
We're chasing every moment, all the good nights
We're always looking out and it's a good life
No, we are never letting this go, oh, oh, oh
Lightning strikes by my window
Hits my chest right in the morning
Like a warning
Could have slept here for days
Feels your heart beat, feels your mouth breathe
But it's not real
It's full
We're going down slowly, we've gone from 20 to 90 to 80
We're at 30
Oh, look at the pretty chalets
We really need to clean our windscreen
There's Olympics, wow
What Olympics were here? It's the sauna
Can't see what that says
Can't see what year it says
Oh, they've still got a Christmas tree up
They've still got a Christmas tree up
Can we go for a walk?
Look at the snow
It's the end of a ski run
Yeah, everything's out of wax
That is the end of a ski run, eh?
I know very little about snow
This is so pretty
Oh, shall we go play in the snowdrift, puppy?
Beautiful
You know how I always say bring hats and scarves and warm coats
Even when you're going to Italy
We brought hats and scarves and warm coats and we're in the mountains
On our last little adventure
We're in the mountain
Isn't it cool?
We're going to walk down there, it's a pretty little street
Christmas decorations up in March
Maybe they're not Christmas decorations
Maybe it's just their decorations
Maybe it's ski season
I saw what you did there
It's really pretty
These guys hosted the Olympics but I don't know when
Good morning, gang
So, as you might have gathered, we're in the mountains
It's beautiful, this little village
It's called Susana
And at some point they hosted the Olympics
I need to look up when but there's Olympic signs all over the place
That's what we woke up to
That's the air we found, that's where we paid
It was €12 for the night
You had to pay it in the hotel restaurant which is just down the road
Electric is free and included
They've got waste disposal
They've got bins, grey waste
I'm not sure about toilet waste, we haven't found that yet
And they've also got fresh drinking water
That building there is the hotel where you have to pay
Just look at the mountains
I'd quite happily stay here another couple of days
They've got a cable car, I'm just going to whizz round
I don't know if you can see it, yeah you can
There's a cable car going up the top
It goes all the way up there
We're going to go through the mountain pass, we're heading towards Lyons
And we're going to hopefully try and get the drone up
But it's a bit windy, so we're going to have to find somewhere quiet where we can do that
But if not we'll get some nice photos of the van on the mountain
That's our plan, see you in a bit
We're in front!
And just look at the view
Wow, I agree with that
That's pretty
There's loads of places down here we could have camped
But because it was getting dark, I'm trying to show how crazy the road is
Because it was dark we decided to stop there
That's quite clever
So if it's minus 15 or below it won't work?
It'll go up to minus 15, minus 20
But under that it won't, so if it's lower than that it won't work?
Yeah
This field stops going, it's pretty
It's windy!
So windy!
But it's so pretty!
It's snow isn't it?
Yeah it shows you how deep the snow is
Yeah we don't know a lot about motor skiing
Oh my goodness look up!
Well you probably shouldn't, you look at the road, I'll look up
Beautiful
It's closing in though isn't it?
I'm trying to find the least dirty bit of our winter boot to look at
Oh!
Alright then, we'll go back outside
Is it 8 degrees? There's no way it's only 8 degrees
What are you doing dude?
I'm trying to ski
Ok, three sets of skis and only one person
Yeah, you've got to wonder
Breathtaking isn't it?
There's another road, crazy road up the other side
Oh my goodness me, these are little roads
They're falling to bits
