Between the 5th and the 9th of Jan

We drove home from Paris in the snow and there began the coldest European winter in 10 years. We took advamtage of the snow one day and went skiing. Jorgi had to give snowboarding a try and discovered that it was not going to be her life's passion, swapping to skis an hour later. Pete was the one slowly making his way slalom style across the mountain, and Mike was the one with skis pointed straight down the mountain, yelling 'yahoo', descending at lightening speed and scaring everyone in his path! He is a maniac on the mountain! The following day we took our frozen butts to Europa Park - can you believe it! Temperatures of -7 and we decide to go to a theme park for the day. We spent a lot of time around the open fires to keep warm.
The morning before we left on our tiki tour we visited a pet shop that held more exotic animals than our zoos. Tarantula's, snakes of many colours and lengths, birds of all shapes and sizes, turtles, geckos and other lizzards and these friendly koi karp.
