Europe and the Alps
Every year I try to get away as much as possible, the last couple of trips have mostly involved snowboarding, In december 2013 I went to Val Thorens, France with Freeze frame a company that can hire camers, film your trip and even edit it all together for you, my job this trip was filming and editing, the results can be seen here:

The flight.
I sat down feelig optimistic about the trip and waited while, the plane filled up, it was a busy flight with just one or two seats spare. We just started ferrying out to the runway when the young boy who was currently playing with his model airplane turned to his mum and said those 4 words that bring dread to anyone
"Are we there yet?"
Planning an escape I picked up the news paper and began reading about how bad england were as a nation from politics to sport. The evening standard clearly has some editors that like to really emphasise the worst in everything. Maybe they should take a tip from Russell Howard and have a good news section at the end to show how great things happen.
Landed in munich with german efficiency I had already collected my baggage before the plane was even expected to land. I met my friend and we went to the hire car company we were meant to be collecting a car described as
"like vauxhall astra"
We were hiring from Budget so were expecting something far worse, then were were offered this:
Golf 2.0 tdi - Budget car hire?..I think not, Brilliant car hire!
We hit the car hire jackpot..think it's time to buy a lottery ticket, I'm feeling lucky...
