Day 4 - an unexpected day off!

It's been a very stormy night and morning here in Pamporovo with a lot of fresh snow. Unfortunately the high winds have caused a few trees to fall and block the roads and it's not currently safe to use the chairlifts so there will be no skiing today.

So now we're having a relaxing morning in the hotel - some are having a snooze, teachers are drinking coffee, others playing cards or just having a chat.  Hopefully our lovely bus driver will be taking us to our favourite restaurant for lunch if the road is cleared soon and we might even get to do some bumboarding. We'll update you later on!
Update! So we did get to have our lunch down at the slopes and now we're back at the hotel enjoying an extra-long swim before dinner.  Bumboarding has been cancelled because of the freezing wind (it feels like -18°C outside!) so we're going back to do some Crazy Bowling after dinner.  Fingers crossed that we'll be back on the slopes tomorrow!

At last night's quiz we had two teams tied for first place so we had to have a tie-break question.  What is the combined age of all the teachers? Geri's team was only one year out and so became our quiz champions! Any parents want to take a guess as to what the correct answer is?!

Keep commenting please! And Mrs Scarah, we remembered to take the photo!

  11. Pity about the poor weather. Hopefully you'll all be back skiing tomorrow. Going by the photos there is no shortage of food or snow. You'll be a little bit heavier when you get home Connor after all that food. UB. PS I guess the combined age of the teachers as 501.
