Big White Day 2 – An Unexpected Lazy Day
Big White Day 2 – An Unexpected Lazy Day
We woke up early again today, not due to an alarm, but due to the ongoing uncomfortableness of the bed. On looking out of the window, we certainly weren’t as lucky with the weather today, with no clear skies or sunshine streaming through the window. Regardless, our plan was to meet up with Michelle, Dave and the girls for a morning coffee and a quick shop of the souvenir and clothing stores around the village. Before we did, however, we decided to try and improve the bedding situation by moving a spare mattress (from Tess’ room) on top of our current mattress arrangement. This proved to be a little more difficult than first anticipated as a result of the awkward corners on the bunk bed from which the mattress was coming, and also due to the fact that the mattresses weren’t the same size as Tori had originally measured (using her arms). We did eventually make it happen, but were lucky enough to find the hair of the last guest inside the sheets that were still on this mattress – just our luck…
Just after 10am we ventured into the village with members of both crews, where we met up with Ed and Tess who had decided to take a break from skiing. The weather conditions had further deteriorated from earlier in the morning, with visibility now down to only a few metres plus nasty winds to go with it. Although the temperature wasn’t too bad, the winds made the conditions just nasty so we were quite glad to be inside. We stopped at Beano’s for a coffee and a hottie (for the girls), then did a quick window shop of the local stores (not finding anything worth purchasing unfortunately) before saying our goodbyes to Michelle, Dave and the girls. They were off to Vancouver today for a few days of rest and relaxation (sightseeing and other touristy pleasures), while the rest of us continued here in the snow. Luckily they had no trouble with their bags (unlike us), and were soon making their way down the mountain. We made a quick stop at Central Reservations to complain about our bedding, but no luck here. On the way back to the apartment we stopped at the Big White Bakery (which was scarily like the Seventh Avenue Bakery for those playing at home) for a quick meal.
The weather hadn’t improved as we made the short trek across the village, so we decided to spend today indoors, once again. Tori and I managed a hot tub, which was outdoors, however, while Nat and Tess headed to Happy Valley (not the one in South Australia) for some ice action. I’m not going to stretch this out to make it seem like we had an exciting night because we really didn’t – dinner was in-house, and we spent the rest of the evening on the computer or in front of the TV. Exciting lives we lead I know. There are only a few photos from today, but some worth a giggle – check them out here. Hopefully tomorrow should be a little more exciting for us and you, but we’ll just have to see what the morning brings. Until then, have fun!
