French Adventure

Hi guys!

Claire and I had an amazing, fun and surprising time in France. After picking up our cute little VW Polo we cruised towards Mt Blanc. Having no understanding of French road signs we somehow managed to wind up on the border of France and Italy! The guy at the Toll asked if we'd like to go to Italy and we were like Nooooo! After a quick reverse in our speedy little car, we finally found our destination - Les Contamines!

The chalet was massive and was seriously the ideal party house, with enough beds for 18 people. We dumped our stuff, turned up the heating and relaxed. In the afternoon we headed down to the town and were surprised and impressed to see a condom machine next to the local boulangerie!

The next day we took a hike in the mountains near the town of St Gervais, how spectacular. It was trully breathtaking even for gals like me who prefer the sites of a good shopping mall or a hot ass.

That evening we discovered there was an ice hockey match in the town and having not seen any ski hunks decided to attend! It was well worth it, we are serious ice hockey fans now. The game was very exciting and rough and the men were rather lush. We ended up being approached by French guy named Jerome who was friends with the players and invited us to a local bar and club to celebrate afterwards which was loads of fun.

Sunday was spent relaxing and playing scrabble, which I won with some choice words. We also tasted some of the local delights including a delicious savoury quiche and of course croissants. I also mastered the French style thanks to a matching pink hat and scarf leant to me by the gorgeous Claire.

We were so lucky and had such a great time. It was nice to have a break away from work, a bit of fresh air in our lungs and a car to drive for a few days. I didn't realise how much I had missed being behind the wheel until I started driving (although driving on the right and giving way to the left was a change!)

I would recommend a visit to anyone, if everything I have said hasn't convinced you, let me just add that all the cows have massive bells around their necks and all you can hear is the sound of the bells ringing as they chew grass. Too cute! xxxx

Love rachixxxxxxx
